The mistake of a French minister about the ‘topless journalist’

French Justice Minister Eric Dupont-Moretti has come under fire for his comment after a topless woman was convicted of indecent exposure on the grounds that she was too hot.

As reported by Euronews Turkish, Dupont-Moretti, at a press conference in the town of Aurillac, where the incident took place on Monday, said: “Until now, no journalist has come to interview me topless. Wasn’t it hot?” He used the phrases.

The minister’s words were criticized as “inappropriate” and “sexist”. The press unions affirmed that the minister made these statements before numerous journalists, cameramen and editors, and denounced her sexist comments, stressing that “even as a joke it is unacceptable.”

REACTION OF WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS

A spokesperson for Dupont-Moretti, referring to the “full determination of the Minister to combat all forms of sexual and sexist violence”, stated: “The Minister regrets that his words have been taken out of context and attributed to intentions that were not his own “.

However, the spokesman’s statements were not enough to alleviate the criticism. Anne-Cécile Mailfert, president of the Women’s Foundation, said: “What a delight. What rhetoric! What courage. What a man. What a look! she scoffed at the comments.

DISCUSSION CREATION OF Accusation of ‘exhibitionism’

In Aurillac, located in the center of France, a woman named Marina walked around the city topless and claimed that she wanted to go “half-naked” like the men, attributing this behavior to the “extreme heat of the climate”.

However, Marina’s conviction for indecent exposure provoked a reaction from the women of the city. A large group of women, mostly topless, who wanted to protest against the decision, burned the French flag over the weekend in front of the court where the sentence was handed down. A group entered the court building and started a fire.

Minister Dupont-Moretti was in town to assess the damage done to the courtroom.
