His speech now seems freer on this issue. Former Prime Minister Elisabeth Born was a guest on RTL this Friday, which marked not only International Women’s Rights Day, but also the ceremony enshrining the right to abortion in the Constitution.
The possibility for Elizabeth Bourne to return to vote in Congress on Monday. It was “a rare moment of agreement where many women participated in making this text a success,” emphasized the woman who resumed her functions as Calvados’ deputy, citing in particular Matilde Panot, LFI.
But the former Matignon resident, who dedicated her nomination to “all the little girls”, urging them to go “to the end of (their) dreams”, first took the time to return to the sexism still present in politics. The first sign, she said, was a string of names, all male, mentioned before her replacement was officially announced. “It was as if the commentators were saying to themselves: We’ve only had a female Prime Minister for 20 months, so we’re going back to normal and the next one will be a man. – she remarked into the RTL microphone.
“The reference point is men”
First of all, Elizabeth Bourne laments that “you are constantly compared to male codes.” In particular, she cites comments about “like the way you walk at an agricultural show. It’s about men.” Or his dinners with the President of the Republic. “I read that it was boring because with Jean Castex (his predecessor) we ate entrecote,” she recalled. “Not very pleasant” reviews. We are here to achieve results for the country and we are sending you to some very unusual things,” she laments.
“All men in politics are interested in introducing male codes, which eliminates competition” from women, the Calvados deputy also noted, although he acknowledged progress. “We are no longer in a state of rampant sexism” as was the case when Edith Cresson was at Matignon, she recalls, citing a dinner with female ministers and France’s very first female head of government, during which she shared them with their experiences over time. “However, a more insidious form of sexism remains,” said Elizabeth Bourne.
