For Elisabeth Borne, “things are now clear.” During a press conference this Friday, from Bonnebosq, in Calvados, the Prime Minister returned to the controversy surrounding the Minister for Territorial Communities. “Caroline Cayeux made comments several years ago that were naturally shocking. When she wanted to explain it, she obviously made uncomfortable comments,” explained the head of government.
Asked on Tuesday about the statements she had made about marriage for all, the minister stood by her comments, before stating, pointing to homosexual people: “I must tell you anyway that I have many friends among these people.” Given the emerging controversy and the embarrassment of the majority, the minister apologized on Thursday night, after his “foolish and clumsy” statements.
“Share the progressive views of the President of the Republic”
For Élisabeth Borne, Caroline Cayeux “had the opportunity to explain herself in an interview, to apologize to the people who may have been scandalized, to reaffirm that she fully shares the progressive views of the President of the Republic, that I lead and that the government leads me”.
“Obviously, she will be very vigilant in the future about the support that can be given to all associations that fight against discrimination and, in particular, against homophobia. Things are now clear and Caroline Cayeux, like the rest of the government, is working”. focused on her mission,” the Prime Minister added.
Caroline Cayeux’s outings, however, continue to embarrass most. As BFMTV learned, confirming information from France Informationa platform calling for his resignation is currently being prepared and is signed by majority parliamentarians.
