(ANSA) - PARIS, MARCH 22 - Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister of Culture, is positive for Covid and her name is going to extend the list of French government exponents who have been infected in recent months. But the controversy exploded over Bachelot's alleged lack of prudence, who on Friday evening, a few hours before the positive swab Saturday morning, went to a premiere of the Opéra open to a few personalities, then congratulated the artists behind the scenes.
Another implication: also on Friday, Bachelot had decorated the singer Michel Sardou, 74 years old, as commander of the Legion of Honor.
According to witnesses, the minister also hugged the singer, who reacts today: "I became Commendator Covid".
