French minister barracked for wearing floral dress
Cécile Duflot chahutée à l'Assemblée par LeNouvelObservateur
IT looks as though the French parliament still has a long way to go when it comes to equality of sexes.
Because when Cécile Duflot, former leader of the Europe Écologie Les Verts and current minister for l’Egalité des Territoires et du Logement, stood to speak in parliament she was barracked by opposition MPs, and her crime?
Wearing a blue and white patterned dress. The short video clip above clearly highlights the distance still to travel for many male members of French political circles.
Blimus! On reading the headline I was expecting to read a report about some swarthy bearded male politician doing the Danny La Rue. Oh la la! But this is just silly... Slow news week in Paris clearly...
