Political Scandal: RN Deputy's Obscene Proposal

Published: 2024-07-26

A shocking incident has emerged involving French National Rally (RN) deputy Frank Giletti and Renaissance deputy Annaïg Le Meur.

During a casual gathering at a Paris café on the night of July 19-20, Giletti allegedly made an obscene proposal to Le Meur, suggesting he would vote for her in exchange for a sexual favor.

This exchange, reported by Le Canard enchaîné, has sparked outrage among colleagues, especially given the ongoing fight against sexual violence.

Giletti has denied the allegations, claiming his comments were misinterpreted and were meant as a joke related to Le Meur's profession as a physiotherapist.

However, Le Meur has corroborated the report, calling Giletti's remarks "unacceptable" and emphasizing that no woman should face such situations.

The incident has drawn significant attention, highlighting issues of sexism within the political arena.
