Edouard Philippe, the former prime minister of France, has said he will stand for president, amid a growing swell of defections to his party from Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance camp.
Far-left National Assembly deputy Mathilde Panot (France Insoumise) was called “fish lady” and “crazy” by her male colleagues on Tuesday (2 February), in the latest episode of a long series of sexist attacks against women politicians in France. EURACTIV France reports.
The insults came as the Val-de-Marne MP was about to speak in the debate about an extension of the state of the health emergency. In a video of the Tuesday evening debates broadcast on Twitter, MP Pierre Henriet (LREM) can be heard addressing Panot as “the fish lady” (poissonière in French). Another male voice is heard shouting “she’s the crazy one”.
