Present in all governments since 2002, Minister of Defence, Justice and Foreign Affairs, Michele Alliot-Marie had a good image in public opinion and politicians. In less than a month, she found herself at the center of a controversy on Tunisia which leads the Left to demand his resignation and that embarrasses the government.
The remarks of the minister cause discomfort. The French political class, left and right wing, is generally accused of complacency towards the Tunisian regime. In the same week, Bruno Le Maire and Frederic Mitterand and had lent their support to the power of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The Minister of Culture had then expressed his "regrets".
Part of the Left to demand an apology Michele Alliot-Marie. Olivier Besancenot (New Anti-Capitalist Party) asked his departure and elected communists and the Left Party have called for his resignation. The Socialists did not go so far, but denounces the "guilty silence" of the French authorities, through the voice of Benoît Hamon.
"We will not train in real time the Tunisian police to maintain order. If this is to send companies of riot police or mobile guards in Tunisia, ensure order instead of the Tunisian police and defend the regime (...), I think it would be a political mistake obviously from France, "said the spokesman of the Socialist Party.
In the expressions of support for the people of Tunisia in Paris on behalf of Michele Alliot-Marie was booed. The Minister says she was "misunderstood", "maybe I've misspoken?" She concedes on RTL, hoping to end the controversy. But if critics cons "MAM" continue, they are also the French diplomacy, accused of having nothing came of it.
The Ambassador of France to Tunisia, Pierre Ménat, and wrote a few hours before the regime fell, the ultimate speech on television by Mr. Ben Ali "may enable him to regain control", as Le Monde revealed at the end of January. The minister said he "paid his vacation", but is unable to specify what name has been established the hotel bill of Mr Miled.
And admits that he traveled in the private plane of the latter. When asked, the minister defended himself awkwardly, giving different versions of the facts. The Minister also said "there was no repression" during his trip, while the riots were already significant. It also ensures that Aziz Miled is not a close clan Ben Ali, but he was forced to associate with the power to maintain his business.
Mr. Miled is nevertheless a clear support plan, central committee member of the RCD, the party in power. Saturday, February 5, the site of Le Nouvel Observateur said that Michele Alliot-Marie and her family have taken up the private jet of Aziz Miled December 29 to get to Tozeur in southern Tunisia large, thus avoiding cross cities in revolt.
A barrage of criticism then falls on the minister. Several leaders of the Socialist Party have called for his resignation as president of the Socialist Group in the National Assembly, Jean-Marc Ayrault. "Today we have a foreign minister who imitated President of the Republic, because the lie has erected a method of government", has also launched Segolene Royal.
Michèle Alliot-Marie then reinforces its presence in the media to attack-cons: in a few days she is on the shelves of France 2, Canal +, France 24, in the columns of Paris or on the antenna of Europe 1. " I realize that people were shocked, I know the lesson here: if I were offered again, I would accept of course not, "says she and Le Parisien.
If it provides be "obviously Minister 365 days, 24 hours 24", she believes that "Mr. Miled has not invited the French minister of foreign affairs, but a friend and her family." And continues to assert that Aziz Miled is not related to clan Ben Ali. The minister rules out resigning, saying "bruised" by the "lies".
If multiple names in the majority defended the minister, the discomfort is palpable to the UMP. Nicolas Sarkozy is not officially intervened. Asked on Monday in Warsaw, he declined to answer reporters' questions. According to the Elysee, the president should raise the matter in Cabinet, Wednesday or Thursday night on TF1, in a television program.
