Secretary of State Marlène Schiappa will pose on the front page of Playboy magazine, to which she gave a long interview about women's rights, we learned Friday from her entourage, confirming information from the Parisian. The Secretary of State for the Social and Solidarity Economy and Community Life was photographed "dressed", with a "long white dress", for the issue of the charming magazine to be published Thursday, April 6, said the same source.

The politician "the most 'Playboy compatible'"

The fact that this precise point raises many questions "shows to what extent the freedom of women to dispose of their bodies as they see fit is not acquired, this is also what she claims in the interview," added the entourage of Marlène Schiappa. For the publisher of the publication, Marlène Schiappa is the politician "the most 'Playboy compatible' because she is attached to women's rights and she has understood that Playboy is no longer a publication of old macho but could instead be an instrument of the feminist cause," Jean-Christophe Florentin told AFP.

"Playboy is no longer a butt diary as before but a mook (half-book, half-magazine, editor's note) quarterly nerdy and trendy of almost 300 pages", "there are still some girls undressed but it is not the essence of the pagination", he said. According to the Parisian, which revealed the information Friday on its website, "this new coup de com' makes cringe within the government". The newspaper quotes a ministerial adviser exclaiming: "No matter the outfit, it's lunar. This is not possible!", and fearing that this publication will parasitize government communication "in the midst of a social crisis on pensions".

The interview conducted several weeks ago

Very active on social networks and subscribed to television sets, Marlène Schiappa has "always assumed to talk to everyone and to have a disruptive communication", said her entourage. She is "the only minister able to answer questions from a magazine like Playboy," the same source boasted. In the interview, conducted several weeks ago, the former Secretary of State for Gender Equality talks about women's freedom in Afghanistan, the defense of the right to abortion, LGBT+ rights on the international scene, but also politics and literature, say her relatives.
