Emmanuel Macron during the interview of July 14, 2020 - Ludovic Marin / AFP

Emmanuel Macron, who played the game of the traditional interview of July 14, said Tuesday respecting the "excitement and anger" of feminists after the arrival at the Interior Ministry of Gérald Darmanin, because of the rape accusations who are targeting him. However, he defended this appointment in the name of the presumption of innocence of which he considers himself the "guarantor".

The head of state's argument did not convince the feminist collective #NousToutes, which noted on Twitter a number of the president's expressions. "" I spoke to him from man to man ". So there, frankly, we will leave you because we, we no longer know what to do, "tweeted the movement before being surprised to hear Emmanuel Macron explain that he made the feminist cause" a red thread of this five year term "..

"I spoke to him from man to man". 🤦‍♀️

“Without additional budget. Without school education, law enforcement training or adequate accommodation. ", Underlined the collective.

"The fight against violence, I made it the common thread of the quinquennium". Without additional budget.
Without education measures at school, training of the police or adequate accommodation. @ EmmanuelMacron takes us for fools. 🤬 # Macron # July 14

The appointments to the government of Gérarld Darmanin, accused of rape, but also of Eric Dupond-Moretti, very critical of the #MeToo movement, have aroused the anger of feminist movements since last week. Denouncing "the culture of rape En Marche", several thousand demonstrators gathered Friday in Paris and in several cities in France to denounce these appointments.
