The Secretary of State for the Social and Solidarity Economy Marlène Schiappa gave a long interview on women's rights in the issue of the charming magazine Playboy to be published Thursday, posing on the front page, dressed in a long white dress. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne told him that it was "not at all appropriate, especially in the current period," we learned Saturday from the entourage of Elisabeth Borne, confirming information from BFMTV.

Left-wing leaders disapprove of this communication

Several left-wing leaders were moved by the government's communication in the midst of a social crisis, after this front page of Playboy and Emmanuel Macron's interview in Pif. As for the Minister of Labour Olivier Dussopt, in the front line on the pension reform, he recently gave an interview to the newspaper Têtu, in which he reveals his homosexuality.

"We are in the middle of a social crisis, there is a subject on the maintenance of order, there are people between life and death and I have the impression of a smokescreen, between 'Stubborn', 'Pif Gadget' and 'Playboy'," lamented on BFMTV the ecologist deputy Sandrine Rousseau. "What is the respect of the French people, the people who will have to work two more years, who demonstrate, who lose days of wages, who can not eat because of inflation," she added. "Women's bodies must be able to be exposed everywhere, I have no problem with that, but there is a social subject here."

"Defending women's right to control their bodies is everywhere and all the time," Schiappa tweeted: "In France, women are free. No offense to the retrogrades and hypocrites."
