Thanks, but no thanks. Cited on Saturday March 19 by Valérie Pécresse as a potential Minister for La Francophonie in her government in the event of victory in the presidential election, Leïla Slimani opposed the candidate Les Républicains in a plea of inadmissibility. “I find it very inelegant. Nothing would horrify me more! That said, it would make a great idea for a novel!” replied the novelist, contacted by the political service of France Télévisions.
Also mentioned by Valérie Pécresse to occupy the Youth portfolio, Teddy Riner does not seem more enthusiastic about the proposal. Invited to react to the idea of the president of the Ile-de-France region, the judoka replied with an emoji representing a hilarious face.
Speaking for the 1 p.m. television news of France 2 in duplex from Arradon (Morbihan), Valérie Pécresse had also mentioned the name of the former chief of staff of the armies Pierre de Villiers to become his Minister of Defense. “I was not aware beforehand of this statement by Madame Pécresse and I will not be her Minister of Defense”, reacted the latter to AFP. His brother Philippe, support of Eric Zemmour, for his part denounced “disloyal methods of thugs than announcing names that have not even been approached”.
Valerie #Pecresse has just announced the name of General de Villiers in his putative government. She didn’t even bother to call him before. Unfair processes of thugs than announcing names that have not even been approached.

For its part, the entourage of the candidate ensures that it was only a “spontaneous answer to a question”. At the start of the evening, Valérie Pécresse explained on Twitter that there was “never” any question of presenting the members of his “future government”. “As in a ‘Proust Questionnaire’I quoted personalities from civil society with whom I could work even if they do not share my ideas”she insisted.
