Marianne Fund: Sandrine Rousseau calls on Marlène Schiappa to resign after her hearing in the Senate

“Politics is also ethics”, launches in a breath Sandrine Rousseau, deputy EELV on the set of France Info, of which she was the guest this morning. The journalists of the continuous news channel of the public service make the politician react on Marlène Schiappa’s Wednesday hearing in the Senate about the Marianne fund. “We are talking about the death of Samuel Paty, of someone who had his throat cut in the course of the courses he was doing, we are talking about something very serious, solemn”, reacts first the elected Parisian.

“Marlène Schiappa must resign. At some point, it’s a question of ethics. And there, the situation is serious enough. The memory of Samuel Paty deserves that there is a political act which is posed ”, then continued Sandrine Rousseau. Already last year, the environmentalist challenged the legitimacy of the Secretary of State for the Social and Solidarity Economy to embody the #MeToo movement.

For the record, several searches took place on Tuesday morning, within the framework of a judicial inquiry opened at the beginning of May on suspicion of embezzlement of public funds, breach of trust and illegal taking of interests in this case.

“We are not at the right level at all”

Last week, the general administration inspectorate published a report denouncing several shortcomings in the allocation and use of money. In the process, Prefect Christian Gravel, head of the Interministerial Committee for the Prevention of Delinquency and Radicalization (CIPDR) – the structure responsible for managing this fund at the Ministry of the Interior has resigned. There were malfunctions, we could have done differently, ”admitted Marlène Schiappa on Wednesday.

“When I heard part of the hearing of Marlène Schiappa who knew nothing, heard nothing… or Mohamed Sifaoui who said that the fight against Islamism consists in tweeting, including against me, we didn’t is not at all at the right level, ”she attacked, referring to the journalist who benefited from grants from the Marianne fund.

The disenchantment between the two politicians seems reciprocal. Last October, in an interview at Le Point she had returned the opposition member in her 22 m. “I notice that in the same week Sandrine Rousseau lied about Laurence Rossignol, spat on Élisabeth Badinter and denigrated Marlène Schiappa… I find it curious on the part of a feminist supposedly concerned about sorority to attack as reflex to other feminists”.
