Stuck in the affair of the Marianne fund and after several controversies which have marred her career in government, Marlène Schiappa was finally dismissed and left the State Secretariat for the Social and Solidarity Economy and Associative Life.
On Twitter, the “Minister since 2017, feminist forever”, therefore simply sent a letter with a tricolor border in all humility. Extracts.
“My message for you” begins by recalling her political career: seven years with the President of the Republic and six years as a local elected official in Le Mans. “Together, we have succeeded in making the protection of women from domestic violence a major policy issue,” says Marlène Schiappa. The figures seem to give another picture, much more worrying, with 58 women killed by their spouse or ex-spouse, according to a count carried out by the collective Féminicides since the beginning of January 2023. The sad record of 2019, with 146 women killed, could, unfortunately, be exceeded this year.

The former Secretary of State, first for Gender Equality then for Social and Solidarity Economy and Associative Life, leaves the government: “[I have] a lot of gratitude for the people with whom I worked, for those who supported me, but also for all those with whom I debated. Does it include author Andréa Bescond who criticized her last March for her lack of results during the program C this evening devoted to feminicides? Out of her gongs, the Secretary of State had threatened to leave the set and demanded the cut of the sequence, in vain.
The last two paragraphs are lyrical, even bordering on slam. “I took politics out of its Venetian vase to bring it everywhere to everyone considering that there are no under-citizens. A rhyme with Brazilian smoothing might have passed. “I played politics for single mothers in trouble, to whom I ensured the payment of alimony”, breathes the poetess, unrolling a cloudless balance sheet.

“I’ve been in politics” becomes an anaphora. And Marlène Schiappa has done politics for many people, “from invested fathers” to “despised foreign workers”. Of those “who live in rural areas like Sarthe [a nod to Le Mans where she was a municipal councilor]” or “in islands like Corsica [a nod to the island of beauty that she wears as a pendant around her neck]”. Even “those who feel next to their pumps” have had the right to Marlène Schiappa’s political commitment.
As a final bouquet, Marlène Schiappa recalls that she will always be engaged. She will continue to “draw lines of union between those who watch TPMP and those who listen to France Culture podcasts, between anti-capitalists and billionaires, between barbecue aficionados and sprouted soy lovers”. Will Sandrine Rousseau use his services?
