Live, this elected undergoes a misogynistic attack barely believable

And a dose of low-level sexism, one! Tuesday April 13, 2021 on the set of the show “Le Grand soir” on LCI, Florence Portelli, LR mayor of Taverny and vice-president of the Île-de-France region, debated with Julien Odoul, RN candidate in the regional elections in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. While the elected representative was leading her reasoning, the politician interrupted her by launching “I am not blonde, me”. What Florence Portelli responded tit for tat “Wow, oh so like Marine Le Pen then. It’s serious eh, bravo sexism”.

This altercation is currently continuing on social networks and more specifically, on Twitter. Florence Portelli shared the streak claiming to be “outraged by the sexism of Julien Odoul, head of the RN, who reminds us of the true face of the retrograde and misogynistic far right!”.

For his part, Julien Odoul, who had already sparked a scandal by taking part a mother wearing the headscarf during a regional council in 2019, tweeted: “A stupid and nasty attempt at recovery of Madame Florence Portelli who dares to transform a line of popular humor (often used by girls) into a crime against the condition of women.” An answer that does not excuse him, but above all, does not convince anyone.

As some elected officials recall, sexism in politics always has happy days. Agnès Evren, MEP, also reacted on the social platform: “The frontal misogynistic attacks, as here in this video, or insidious, are a reality that we take head on as a woman. Julien Odoul’s attitude is unjustifiable. What does Marine Le Pen think of herself as a ‘feminist’? ‘? Well done to Florence Portelli for her reaction. “
