Photos mocked in Playboy, interview contested in Closer, management questioned by the Senate of the Marianne Fund and opening by the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office of a judicial investigation… Critics have multiplied against the omnipresent Secretary of State in charge of the Social and Solidarity Economy and Associative Life, Marlène Schiappa, and hastened her downfall. The person concerned confirmed her departure to the Monde this Thursday, July 20, while we were still waiting for the official announcement of the reshuffle.
Iconoclastic personality in a sometimes dull macronie, Schiappa, faithful from the start, has not only had friends within the majority in recent months. “We only talk about her through controversy, never on her ministerial subjects, it becomes a real problem”, recently decided a pillar of the executive. “It’s a drag for us. She has to go to the next reshuffle”, went there, even more cash, a Renaissance figure, very critical: “Marlène had an image of a popular minister. There, we no longer talk about what she does but about her. We’re not here to show off. »
Several times her entourage sought to demine, presenting her in the skin of a target that would be sought to be knocked down: “She symbolizes battles that can be disturbing. She is also close to Gérald Darmanin. Maybe they want to kill a woman who supports him in this government? “indicated support in Le Parisien at the end of May. And the Minister of the Interior to come to his aid: “Marlène has a strength that must bother some. She has convictions and knows what she wants. She is strong and knows how to play politics, ”he confided to us on May 20. A quality that had allowed him since 2017, in the wake of the election of Emmanuel Macron, to climb the ministerial ladder. Able to debate at the summer university of rebellious France or with yellow vests on television, Marlène Schiappa, as comfortable in the media as on the networks, was one of the few government figures identified with the French. “He is one of the few ministers to play politics”, noted many Walkers.
Offhand in the eyes of the parliamentary commission of inquiry
However, the opening by the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office of a judicial investigation into the Marianne Fund, which she had initiated after the assassination of history and geography professor Samuel Paty, and the harsh criticism of the Senate in early July, sealed her government fate. “We have the feeling that the Marianne Fund was designed as a major communication operation” by the minister, said rapporteur Jean-François Husson. “The lack of rigor, opacity and casualness led to the fiasco” of the Marianne Fund against separatism, set up in 2021. “The finding is clear on the drift of what we call a political coup”, he had struck.
“We interviewed her for a long time (…) I have never seen her offer tangible elements to our commission of inquiry. She had a lot of memory loss, there are certain speeches which are appalling, from my point of view, and distressing, ”the senator had still cried while the Secretary of State seemed to discard on his administration and seemed, in the eyes of the parliamentary commission of inquiry, very casual.
Since then, there have been few voices within the government and the presidential majority to support Marlène Schiappa. So she did it herself. In an interview with Corse-Matin on July 16, she assured that her “probity is intact and that is what matters (to her). “I see that the charges against me have been deflated,” she said.
Six years after entering government, the outspokenness of this free electron has ended up tiring even of his friends.
