The high school student who had arrested Emmanuel Macron Thursday during a walkabout in Gaillac, received this Friday morning, June 10, the visit of the gendarmes, explained the 18-year-old young woman to the daily La Dépêche.
“They interrogated me for 10 minutes.
I held the President's hand until he answered me.
We're not going to make a story out of it.
It was perhaps not the place for my intervention, but it was the occasion

In literary finals, the high school student had challenged the Head of State on the subject of the “great cause of the quinquennium”, namely gender equality and violence against women.
“You put at the head of the state men accused of rape and violence against women.
Why ?
Please answer me”
, she asked him in reference to Gérald Darmanin and Damien Abad.
The sequence, captured by a mobile phone, made the rounds of social networks.
The young woman says today that she did not appreciate the presidential response.
“His
'No, you don't understand'
sticks in my throat.
He treated me like a kid, ”
she told the newspaper, before admitting to having cried after this episode
.
“
I am not in an association or a party.
But I received an education from my parents based on respect for others, equality between the sexes
,” she explains, before letting go: “
I was the victim of touching in the metro”.
“I am a feminist.
I have nothing against Macron.
I think he did good things in a difficult situation with the health crisis.
But for National Education, on violence against women, I find that it was not good.

again
