Depardieu affair: Aurore Bergé affirms that Emmanuel Macron did not support the actor

The Minister Delegate for Gender Equality, Aurore Bergé, on Sunday judged Gérard Depardieu's remarks broadcast on television in December to be "odious", while considering that Emmanuel Macron in no way expressed "support" for these words. misogynists of the actor.

The head of state is criticized by feminist associations for having given his support to the film star in December, indicted for rape and targeted by three complaints for sexual assault or rape, accusations which he refutes. Emmanuel Macron had notably denounced a “manhunt” against Gérard Depardieu, a “huge actor” who “makes France proud”, a few days after the broadcast of a shocking documentary on France 2 full of insulting remarks, of a nature sexual, of the actor.

Questioned on LCI on Sunday about this support from the Head of State, Aurore Bergé affirmed that she had not “heard the President of the Republic, at any time, say that the remarks which had been made by Gérard Depardieu deserved any support and a any defense. “The comments he (Gérard Depardieu, editor’s note) made in a broadcast are comments that are odious, unacceptable. Point. There is nothing to defend in his comments and no one has defended them, obviously no one in the government, nor the President of the Republic,” added the Minister for Gender Equality.

“The question is above all how we act” on femicide and sexual assault, she stressed. Questioned on the same subject on BFMTV, the national secretary of the communists Fabien Roussel for his part considered that “the President of the Republic committed a serious error” by showing his support for Gérard Depardieu. “He wanted to create a diversion the day after the vote on immigration,” he said.
