Sandrine Rousseau persists and signs. The ecologist deputy from Paris again opposed this Tuesday in the Daily Mail the ban on the abaya decided by the Government. The elected EELV highlighted an issue that “is not fundamental to our education.” “I don’t know if we realize it,” he insisted, later emphasizing that “a media and ministerial machine is set in motion” for only “298” students “out of 12 million.”
Or the total number of people who turned up in this long traditional dress this Monday during the start of the school year, according to the Minister of National Education, Gabriel Attal, a guest of BFMTV-RMC this Tuesday. A provisional evaluation, however, he said, recalling that other situations could arise at the beginning of the first and last year.
In the eyes of Sandrine Rousseau, abaya-wearing teenagers are left alone with “a grinding machine.” “No one questions their motivations, we have not heard their voice. We do not know what they are looking for,” she lamented.
“We are not here to flatter opinions”
The latter, like its elected party and, in particular, La France insubmissive, is not the only one to speak out against the government’s decision. However, the majority of supporters of these two parties view it favorably. According to an Ifop survey for charlie hebdo, 79% of EELV supporters support him and 58% of LFI supporters.
However, Sandrine Rousseau defended herself from being “out of touch”. “We’re not here to flatter people’s opinions,” she said. And to develop: “I am waging a fundamental political battle over the values we defend and precisely over the abaya. The question is how the school is a place that welcomes everyone with their differences and allows everyone to have a real chance of emancipation, but also of progression”.
