The #MeTooPolitique collective estimated Friday, December 3 that we were "
still at a very small stage of unveiling
" cases of sexual and sexist assault in politics, a week after the dissemination of accusations of sexual assault and rape against the former minister Nicolas Hulot.

"
We are still at a very small stage of unveiling,
" said Alice Coffin, at the initiative of the collective, during a press conference, recalling that "
there (was) red alert
" in "
a world policy plagued by this question
”. "
The most appalling reaction is that of the President of the Republic
", she lambasted, while Emmanuel Macron had wished Wednesday neither "
complacency
" nor "
inquisition
", about the accusations against his ex -minister of the ecological transition.
"
It is so eloquent on the extent of the French denial
", she judged. Mathilde Viot, general secretary of the LFI group at the Ile-de-France regional council, denounced "
the jerk of this government
". "
The launch of our collective and the dissemination of the survey on Nicolas Hulot
" must "
encourage reactions
" with now "
the receptacle for testifying
", pleaded Alice Coffin, ensuring that the collective #MeTooPolitique received "
every day
" testimonies of "
women who have already spoken or who have not yet spoken
".
Three elected women out of four have already been confronted with sexist remarks or behavior, according to a survey published on Friday by the Élues Locales network and carried out among 1,000 political representatives.
After the publication in mid-November in
Le Monde
of a column signed by 285 women politicians calling to "
remove the perpetrators of sexual and gender-based violence
" from the parties, several left-wing parties - PS, EELV, LFI, Génération Écologie and Génération.s - are committed to "
not invest any person implicated for acts of sexist and sexual violence
" during the next elections.
