After having mentioned the idea of cutting subsidies to feminist associations which have had “ambiguous remarks” on the Hamas attack in Israel on October 7, Aurore Bergé, the delegate minister responsible for equality between women and men, finally declared, Saturday March 2, that the examination by the administration did not make it possible to discover comments deemed ambiguous “among those which are financed by the State”, in an interview au Parisian.
Asked about his “instrumentalization” of the situation denounced by associations for a month, Aurore Bergé replied that“we cannot have selective indignation”. “Everyone can completely disagree with the government, it is even an absolute freedom and I am also the guarantor of it. On the other hand, let us collectively be there when women are targeted because they are women! »she said.
The minister announced in mid-February that the government was in the process of passing “under the sieve” the declarations linked to the unprecedented attack on October 7 of all feminist associations, expressing its refusal to see the State financially support “associations which cannot characterize what happened” That day. This in reference to the 1,160 people who were killed by the Islamist movement but also to the sexual violence committed that day, and which have since been documented.
