Aurore Bergé defended herself on Saturday March 2 from any exploitation. The minister announced in mid-February that the government was “sifting” the declarations linked to the unprecedented attack of October 7 on all feminist associations.

“I wanted to send a clear message,” explained the minister, adding that she had requested “an evaluation, because it is not possible to subsidize associations which would have glorified the terrorist crimes of Hamas” “Everyone can completely disagree with the government, it is even an absolute freedom and I am also its guarantor," she said.
