The Secretary of State in charge of the City, Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, is the first member of the government to grant an interview to the JDD since its takeover by Geoffroy Lejeune. “Pluralism is accepting confrontation,” she argues in the columns of the weekly, published Sunday for the first time since a historic 40-day strike.
“Matignon was not warned ahead of this interview”, assured Agence France-Presse a source within the executive, recalling that “members of the government normally warn before expressing themselves in the media “.
