At the time, Olivier Duhamel sat there as president of the National Foundation of Political Science, and Gérald Darmanin, as an “external personality” and former student.

“Olivier Duhamel, who never took part in any vote on the directions of Sciences Po, voted against for the first time.

No doubt on the grounds that the personality and the struggles that I embodied had no place at Sciences Po, ”she added.

During his campaign for the presidency of Sciences Po, “a lot of cases of sexual violence” had come to his ears.

“Students, especially female students, complained that they were mismanaged,” she said, as many students denounce rape and sexual assault in their schools.
