The farmers’ crisis had (almost) made us forget it: Amélie Oudéa-Castéra has suffered the storm since her appointment on January 11 following a controversy over her children’s education. Fortunately, the Minister of National Education and Sports reminded us on Tuesday that the controversy was not over. During the ceremony of the wishes of the French Olympic Committee (CNOSF), she declared that “even within Parliament they would like to make me the symbol of a privileged caste to be fought, to be destroyed”.
As a reminder, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who has made a series of blunders, is under fire from criticism due, among other things, to the schooling of her children in the private Stanislas establishment and her declarations about the Littré public school and its ” bundles of hours not seriously replaced.” An outing which triggered the ire of several teaching unions, and a defense of the minister undermined shortly after by the daily Libération which published several testimonies denying this version.
“I’m not sure I’ll be able to forgive myself for this mistake.”
“In recent days I have awkwardly recalled an erroneous memory of my mother from 15 years ago. I hurt people that I didn’t want to hurt for anything in the world. Mea culpa,” she said. “I’m telling you this evening, I’m not sure I’ll be able to forgive myself for this mistake one day. It’s a bruise for me, unlike many labels that many people want to put on my shoulders. The only injunction that I have ever given to myself is not to win (…), to conquer, but to behave like a good person and that is not what I have. do. »
“What I discovered about the clumsy, erroneous, faulty evocation of a memory (…) A torrent can burst forth which splashes everything down to the most intimate choices (…) a mechanism which would like sweep away everything that has been built, dirty everything that can be,” she continued in a long defense monologue. “And even within Parliament they would like to make me the symbol of a privileged caste to be fought, to be destroyed. Whereas the only thing I inherited from my family is the love of a job well done, the taste for effort, the passion for merit. And it’s all this that makes sport my natural environment,” she said in front of an audience who applauded her for a long time at the end of her speech.
The minister also cited Rudyard Kipling’s poem “Be a Man My Son” which was in her childhood bedroom. “As long as this mandate at the head of this magnificent ministry is entrusted to me, I will do everything to help the children, all the children of the Republic, succeed,” she also added.
