“The fact that it is only in France that the question” arises of appointing a woman to Matignon is “in my eyes scandalous”, denounces Edith Cresson, who remained less than 11 months in this position, from May 1991 to April 1992, during the second seven-year term of François Mitterrand.

“Has it been asked in the United Kingdom, where Margaret Thatcher held power for eleven years? In Germany, where Angela Merkel was Chancellor for sixteen years? Never. The same for Portugal where a woman had been appointed First minister long before me…”, she underlines.
