Apolline de Malherbe
Marion Maréchal defended herself, giving the example of Josephine Baker,
pantheonized almost two years ago

Marion Maréchal concluded her anti-Aya Nakamura speech by criticizing the government for not assume the “Christian roots” from France, at a time when “the (whole) world is looking at us”: “Every time the world looks at us, we give the impression that we do not assume what we are. We do not assume that we are a country with Christian roots, which we do not assume to be a country of European culture.” A few days ago, Aya Nakamura responded to some of her detractors, and
notably attacked Cyril Hanouna
, after he invited a black and far-right speaker to say all the bad things he thought of the singer.
