Discretion. Marlène Schiappa canceled her appearance this Wednesday night on France 5’s “C à vous”, assuring the program’s crews that it was a request from Matignon, according to information from BFMTV. The Secretary of State for the Social and Solidarity Economy was going to speak for the first time since the start of the controversy surrounding her interview in the erotic magazine Playboyfor which he also participated in a photo session.
Accustomed to media blows, his initiative this time is going very badly in the field of Government, in great political difficulty with the pension reform.
“It was not suitable, a fortiori in the period,” Elisabeth Borne told her minister, according to previous information from BFMTV.
“A Digressive Way”
Macronie, for his part, spoke lip service to the former Secretary of State for Gender Equality. “Marlène Schiappa is a brave politician, that she has her character, her style that she is not mine, but she respects it,” declared Gérald Darmanin, the Interior Minister of which she was number 2 during the previous five-year period, with Sunday newspaper.
Visibly uncomfortable, the government spokesman, Olivier Véran, saw in the choice of Marlène Schiappa “a form of degeneration” while evoking her “efficiency” and her “sincerity”.

The president returns to the conditions under which a head of state can leave power.
