Marlene Schiappa - the French minister for social economy sparks controversy for being on April's cover of Playboy.
A French minister, Marlene Schiappa, is drawing flak from her own party members for appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine. The 40-year-old author, a self-described feminist, had appeared in the magazine as part of a 12-page interview she did on women’s and LGBT rights. In the cover photo, Schiappa, who is the Minister for the Social Economy and French Associations, was photographed wearing a white dress.
Borne criticised Schiappa saying that it "wasn't appropriate, especially during this period"
Her decision to appear in the magazine was harshly criticized by other French politicians, including by members of her party.
French PM Elisabeth Borne has reprimanded Marlene Schiappa, the secretary of state for social economy, for giving an interview to the men's magazine Playboy.
