Rarely has a minister focused so much attention and criticism before even acting. The new Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, has been described as an Islamo-leftist by part of the class on the right. For the philosopher Bérénice Levet, guest of Europe Matin Monday, the new minister is not the “continuator”.
Since the announcement of his appointment to the Ministry of National Education and Youth, historian Pap Ndiaye has found himself under fire from critics. For the philosopher Bérénice Levet, guest of Europe Matin on Monday, the former Minister for Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer was “finally the screen”. “We go from someone, Jean-Michel Blanquer, who was very closed to questions of identity to someone who is very open,” she said, referring to Caroline Bécard’s comments on Saturday on France Inter.
“The true face of Emmanuel Macron”
The Minister of National Education Pap Ndiaye, intellectual, academic was described as wokist, Islamo-leftist by part of the class on the right and the extreme right. For Bérénice Levet, this appointment shows “the true face of Emmanuel Macron”. “The president has the merit of putting his cards on the table,” she admitted on Europe 1.
At 56, Pap Ndiaye is a specialist in the social history of the United States and minorities. His ideological position on certain issues is therefore the exact opposite of that of his predecessor, Jean-Michel Blanquer. “Michel Wieviorka himself tells us ‘if he has the means to carry out the policy he can embody, we will go in a new direction'”, explained Bérénice Levet.
