A nomination that does not delight everyone. Particularly near Paris town hall. Indeed, this Thursday, January 11, 2024, Gabriel Attal, appointed Prime Minister by Emmanuel Macron this Tuesday, January 9, 2024, revealed the names of the ministers who would accompany him to govern the country. In addition to having surprised by choosing his ex-companion, Stéphane Séjourné, for the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, he also oriented his choice towards Rachida Dati
for Culture.
Indeed, the former Minister of Justice under the mandate of Nicolas Sarkozy therefore replaces Rima Abdul-Malak and this obviously did not enchant Anne Hidalgo. In fact, she could not help but attack her rival at the Paris Council. “I wish good luck to those in the world of culture taking into account the trials they will go through with the appointment of Rachida Dati as Minister of Culture”she blurted out, getting back up.
Also see: “Rachida’s child came from me”, the ex-minister, Bernard Laporte, talks about his relationship with Rachida Dati like never before!
Rachida Dati, destroyed by her opponents
But the mayor of Paris was not the only one to criticize the choice of Gabriel Attal for this position. Indeed, Emmanuel Grégoire, the first deputy ofAnne Hidalgofor his part added: “Before, an indicted minister had to resign. Now an indicted minister for corruption can be appointed minister”. As a reminder, Rachida Dati is indicted for “passive corruption” in the investigation into contracts entered into by a subsidiary of Renault-Nissan, when Carlos Ghosn was its CEO. However, she denies any irregularity.
Actress Anna Mouglalis also failed to hide her disappointment when journalist Paul Larrouturou told her the news. “We have just learned that Rachida Dati has been elected Minister of Culture”he told her when he met the actress at a gathering. “Naaan!?“, she said with great disappointment before continuing: “In any case, culture was already very well destroyed… But culture is alive and culture, its function is to resist”.
