The beginnings of Nathalie Loiseau as director of ENA were laborious. This is what she was trying to explain Monday morning on France Culture, while Emmanuel Macron wants to close the school. But while the head of the European LREM list plunged back into her somewhat unpleasant memories, she used a racist expression.
"I felt like a romance when I came to the head of the ENA"
"I was not greeted with flowers by not being a former ENA student, wife and under 50. I felt like a romance when I arrived at the head of the 'ENA', Nathalie Loiseau said. The term "Romanesque" refers pejoratively to nomadic Gypsy peoples. Several listeners and Internet users were indignant, quickly followed by some policies. Ian Brossat, PCF candidate for the Europeans - and therefore competitor Nathalie Loiseau - denounced "this 'bulwark' on the far right, obviously built in cardboard."
This "rampart" facing the extreme right has obviously been made of cardboard ... https://t.co/FKQxyQAOko
- Ian Brossat (@IanBrossat) April 29, 2019The campaign of Nathalie Loiseau is, from the beginning, enamelled of polemics. Last week, the former Minister of European Affairs was caught up in her past presence on a far-right student list when she was at Sciences-Po in 1984. She was also accused of trivializing homophobia in a comic strip. on Europe whose scenario she has signed.
