Arm wrestling between Rachida Dati and François Baroin. The new Minister of Culture, excluded from the Republicans (LR) after her appointment, did not appreciate the words of her former comrade against her during her municipal greetings on Friday. “I’ve known her for a long time. It’s always surprising to see people board the Titanic with a smile, especially when you know the end of the story. We say to ourselves that she lacks lucidity,” declared Mayor LR of Troyes, as reported The Flash East.
A speech which did not fail to make Rachida Dati react. “His comments are unworthy. I have no lessons to learn,” she said indignantly on X (formerly Twitter) at the end of the day on Monday. “François Baroin is an heir who has done nothing else in his life than take advantage of the protections he received. And who at decisive moments walked away, both for our political family and for the country,” she added, without mincing her words.

During his municipal vows, François Baroin took a long beating at the mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris and estimated that the City Hall, which Rachida Dati would covet, “is a prospect that is fading away for her”.
As for her decision to accept a job in government, he said: “Does she really think the cruise will be nice and sunny? The macronie will explode. » Before issuing a warning to those who would be tempted to do the same: “With this siren song, there is always the possibility of catching frogs that have jumped out of the wheelbarrow. (…) To those who accept the Titanic and the song of the sirens, I say good luck. And I would also be tempted to say, good luck…”
“These are not my values”
The former president of the Association of Mayors of France took the opportunity to reiterate his loyalty to the LR: “I will never be one of those. (…) If I had wanted to be part of this cohort of frogs who jumped out of the wheelbarrow and abandoned us, I would have done so on multiple occasions. But it’s impossible for me. These are not my values, not my conception of the country. The methods and remedies proposed are not good. »
“Nothing to add”, simply reacted on X Éric Ciotti, the president of the LR, thus emphasizing his support for the words of the mayor of Troyes. The head of the Republicans decided to exclude the new minister from the party following the announcement of her appointment. “Rachida Dati has chosen to join the Government. She places herself outside our political family. She is no longer part of the Republicans. We are in the opposition, so we draw the consequences of his choice with regret,” he explained on X.
