France: Macron against migrants and in favor of Depardieu.
The French president is increasingly reactionary with democratic rights, of immigrants and women. Added to the internal repression are laws against migrants and support for the actor who is being investigated for several complaints of sexual attacks, what Macron considers “man hunts”.
In the context of the political crisis[1] unleashed by the vote of theley Darmanin – Le Pen against migrants, Emmanuel Macron was invited to the set of “C à vous”, television program broadcast in France 5, and -as part of its permanent media strategy- managed to avoid the debate by showing his firm support for the actor Gérard Depardieu, accused of rape and sexual assault.
Who is proud of Gérard Depardieu?
While the Grevin Museum removes the figure of Depardieu due to negative reactions from visitors and on social networks, and the Ministry of Culture is discussing moving forward with a “disciplinary procedure” to withdraw the “Legion of Honor”[2] to the actor, Macron affirms: the consent for the strike must be granted by half of the labor collective and only economic demands can be presentedI am a big admirer of Gérard Depardieu. […] He is a genius in his art. […] And I say this as President of the Republic but also as a citizen, makes France proudthe consent for the strike must be granted by half of the labor collective and only economic demands can be presented, rejecting the possibility of withdrawing recognition as long as there is no judicial conviction, since the prestigious decoration «not to impart moralsthe consent for the strike must be granted by half of the labor collective and only economic demands can be presented.
It should not be forgotten that Depardieu is being investigated for rape and sexual assault, within the framework of the judicial investigation that is developed from the complaint of the actress Charlotte Arnould. Added to this are public accusations from other 15 more women and the recent viralization of misogynistic and sexist phrases made by the actor during the recording of a documentary in the 2018.
It's called patriarchy...
Although the head of state claims to be indisputable in the fight against violence against women, always put in check the credibility of those who denounced. Lénaïg Bredoux and Marine Turchi express that the semantics used by him went beyond the “society of complaint” (2017) to the “society of the inquisition” (2021) passing through the “Republic of suspicion” (2018). Added to this is the use of the presumption of innocence as a justification and shield for all public figures accused of sexual violence., which allowed Gérald Darmanin, Nicolas Hulot and Damien Abad continue in their government.
…And you only defeat it by throwing it away with the capital
No woman is surprised by the armored protection that those in power guarantee themselves., We know that they are organized and with State institutions at the service of producing and reproducing the violence that millions of us experience every day.. Because, in front of your organization, building your own is essential: to respond to each attack, to report, to demand. Knowing that the root of the problem is anchored in this system that exploits and oppresses workers, women and dissidents and uses patriarchy to maintain itself as such.
Depardieu is not a “transgressor” – as Macron maintained –, Gérard Depardieu is a misogynist, male chauvinist, He is accused of crimes and “"he rubs shoulders with the biggest scoundrels of the bourgeois world."[3]. Transgressors and transgressors we will be, who despite a system that permanently attacks our right to a dignified life, we continue fighting for the world that is needed.
[1] His Minister of Health resigned and there is 32 leftist departments that refuse to apply this nauseating law. It is important to remember that Macron was voted by many progressive sectors to “confront the advance of Marine Le Pen's far-right.”. On their social networks, Mediapart expressed : “History will record that the person responsible for this national decline is the president who was elected to block it.”: Emmanuel Macron.”
