In a long interview with

L'Express

, Friday, November 19, the former minister of Nicolas Sarkozy, Rama Yade, made a very noticeable exit.

While the debates on the culture "woke" animate the political class, the former regional councilor of Île-de-France, who currently lives in Washington, said to live like a "micro-aggression" the fact of having to pass in front of the statue of Colbert, in Paris.

According to her, the "

woke

"

movement

is "

brandished in an abusive manner as a tool of censorship

Statements in reverse of those of the totality of his former political family. Who did not hesitate to let him know. “

I am scandalized by these words. It is despicable of someone who has had the distinguished honor of serving the Republic at the highest level. It is a legal attack against what makes the universalism of France that we have been defending for centuries,

”for example insurgent Gilles Platret, mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône and national vice-president of the Republicans, on

CNews

. An opinion shared by Othman Nasrou, one of the right-hand men of Valérie Pécresse, president of the Île-de-France region and candidate for the LR congress. "

Ridiculous.

This ideology of wokism is dangerous.

It is clear that it is progressing.

It's up to us to fight it,

”he reacted on Twitter.

An "instrumentalisation of History"

An opinion shared by the majority. Asked about the subject at the “

Grand Rendez-vous

” on Europe1 / CNews / Les Echos, the government spokesman, Gabriel Attal, judged that there were “

far too many instrumentalizations of History in the public debate

". For him, History is "

a block, with its triumphs, with its glories, with its shadowy moments too

", he believes. According to him, if the woke trend is "

very much in the minority in the country

", it is however necessary to "

respond

" to public figures who highlight it and "

oppose them with another vision

surprised by the Americanized position

" of Rama Yade.

I do not fantasize about a France where history is worth nothing, where reality is worth nothing and where contradiction constitutes a moral fault.

In fact, wokism is the art of institutionalizing forgiveness for existing,

”he wrote on Twitter.

"The forgotten oars to resuscitate"

Julien Odoul, the spokesperson for the National Rally, also expressed his annoyance.

According to him, Rama Yade "

treats the history of France like a doormat

".

When one was appointed Minister of the Republic only ten years after being naturalized, one can say thank you to the country of Colbert

", he protests.

Same opinion for the MEP RN Gilbert Collard, for whom Rama Yade "

the forgotten (...) row to resuscitate

".

We would dream of a world where the aggressors would all be

unmoved,” he quipped.

And Eric Zemmour tweeted, not without irony: "

I want to assure Rama Yade of all my micro-support in the face of the micro-drama she micro-goes through

".
