Positive au Covid-19, Roselyne Bachelot dans la tourmente
On a appris ce samedi que Roselyne Bachelot a été testée positive au Covid-19. Or, ce qui embarrasse l’exécutif, c’est son emploi du temps et certaines photographies, dans un contexte déjà tendu avec l’occupation d’une soixantaine de théâtres et d’opéras dans tout le pays.
Roselyne Bachelot a eu une journée chargée vendredi dernier. Elle a tout d’abord remis les insignes de commandeur de la légion d’honneur à Michel Sardou. Fallait-il que l’État distingue aujourd’hui un chanteur à qui l’on doit notamment des chansons vantant “l’époque bénie des colonies” ou encore en faveur de la peine de mort ? Je laisse chacun juger.
Roselyne Bachelot in turmoil after getting tested positive for Covid-19
This Saturday, Roselyne Bachelot has tested positive for Covid-19. But what embarrasses the executive is her schedule and certain photographs, in an already tense context with the occupation of some sixty theatres and opera houses throughout the country.
Roselyne Bachelot had a busy day last Friday. First of all, she awarded the insignia of Commander of the Legion of Honour to Michel Sardou. Was it necessary that day for the State to distinguish a singer, to whom we owe, among other things, songs praising “the blessed era of the colonies” or who is even in favour of the death penalty? I leave it to everyone to judge.
