A reaction that contrasts with that of the President of the Republic. The government spokesperson, Olivier Véran, said on Thursday January 4, “shocked” by the misogynistic and insulting remarks towards women made by the actor Gérard Depardieu, also the target of three complaints for sexual assault or rape.
“These comments shock me and I have a thought for the people who felt offended, who are victims”declared the government spokesperson on BFMTV. “I am shocked by the comments I saw, which I find rubbish”, he added. Emmanuel Macron supported Gérard Depardieu at the end of December, saying that it was a “great actor” Who “makes France proud” and denouncing “a manhunt”. A few days earlier, the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul Malak, for her part, considered that the actor’s comments made “shame on France”.
