Keeper of the Seals Eric Dupond-Moretti, criticized by feminist associations for his positions on the #MeToo movement, assured Sunday evening on France 2 to be "feminist" and "for an absolute equality of the rights of men and the rights of women" .
"I said that I was for an absolute equality of the rights of men and the rights of women and in particular on the field of wages, and on this question, I am feminist and I say it, without having to blush, I am feminist ", He repeated, interviewed at the 8pm newspaper on France 2.
"Condemn the bastards"
The arrival of Eric Dupond-Moretti on Place Vendôme has aroused as much surprise as concern, even distrust, within the judiciary and among feminist associations scalded by his critics of the #MeToo movement.
"I said that #MeToo had released the woman's speech and that it was a good thing, I also said that it was absolutely necessary, and I wrote it, to allow the most timid women to say the things. I said that we had to condemn the bastards who didn’t behave well with women, ”he added.
Eric Dupond-Moretti then nuanced: "But for as much, I added that justice does not go on social networks, that the web could not be the receptacle of these complaints, that justice should intervene and I I also said that it has happened that men have been wrongly accused, "he replied.
“I don't want to experience moralization as we know it in the United States (…). I want a man to be able to take a lift with a woman, and the war of the sexes, I find that it is useless ", he estimated, underlining that" feminism, it is a very great cause but it is misguided when it is excessive ”.
Darmanin "is presumed innocent"
Asked about the accusation of rape which targets the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin, Eric Dupond-Moretti assured that he "does not know the file of Mr. Gerald Darmanin. I say that he is presumed innocent, that it is not a minor rule, that it is not an accessory rule, it is the Constitution ”, he hammered. "It concerns everyone, the presumption of innocence, and the French have a lot of trouble with that," he said.
