One year after Vanessa Springora’s book which revealed what was to become the Matzneff affair, it’s a new bookstore story that breaks a taboo, that of incest, through the voice of Camille Kouchner.
These cases are stories of silence and omerta, of a series of silences. In ” The big family (Le Seuil), the author accuses his stepfather of having abused his twin brother when they were teenagers. It details with great accuracy the mechanisms of silence and control often observed in this type of business. The omerta lasted a long time!
The father-in-law is the political scientist Olivier Duhamel, a man with a large social background, renowned constitutionalist, MEP, who reigns over the National Foundation for Political Science, which finances Sciences Po and whose Council of administration is one of the most locked-in places of influence in academia. From Europe 1 to LCI, he also comments on political news and chairs “ The century “, This prestigious club where we find the French elite, which” bridges the worlds that are too ignorant of each other in France (politicians, senior officials, journalists, industrialists, bankers) “as reported The diplomatic world. I should have written this paragraph imperfect, since, in the face of the scandal, Olivier Duhamel resigned from all his high functions. Note also that, traveling companion of the Socialist Party, Olivier Duhamel was part, on April 23, 2017, of the happy few gathered at the Parisian brasserie ” La Rotonde ”To celebrate the victory of Emmanuel Macron in the first round of the Presidential election.
A certain gloomy attitude in the “establishment” is thus highlighted on the part of a left of progress presenting itself as a paragon of democratic virtues. At Duhamel, Kouchner, Pisier, respectively lessons in republicanism, humanism, feminism! What is astonishing is that the humanist intelligentsia pretends to discover acts dating from forty years ago when they all see each other (actors, actresses, writers, artists, political world) in a microcosm that looks at the navel. Any perverse act towards a child engages his mental, sentimental and family future! Breakers of young lives, marking the children they touch for life, they are the same who find themselves signatories on January 26, 1977 of a petition for free sexuality between adults and children, 50 left-wing personalities, including Jack Lang, Bernard Kouchner, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Louis Aragon, André Glucksmann, Roland Barthes … “It was bullshit” has just recognized Jack Lang in an interview with Sonia Mabrouk. “It was after 1968 and we were carried by a libertarian wind. This forum was unacceptable ”. Is that enough as an excuse?
In ” The big family », A book which had the effect of a real media earthquake, Camille Kouchner breaks the omerta established around a heavy family secret and makes chilling revelations about his reconstituted family. His mother, Evelyne Pisier, ex-wife of Bernard Kouchner, having married Olivier Duhamel, to protect her husband, had been silent, like the friends of the couple, prominent personalities anxious to avoid any scandal. In its issue of January 14, “ The obs »Evokes the ” lost paradise “ of the political scientist, his second home in Sanary-sur-mer, where every summer, Olivier Duhamel brought together his political, intellectual and even media circles, for evenings that one would find “of incredible freedom of morals”. A ” Wonderland “ for Raphael Enthoven, an atmosphere that leaves others very uncomfortable.
Since the revelation of the affair, a certain pressure reigns on the small personal circle and also professional of Olivier Duhamel. This time, it is overflowing in all directions, in the beautiful world. Everyone knew. Everyone is silent. Let’s wait. It is “The left caviar”. I regret that caviar, a delicious dish often associated with Russia, is here associated with this abomination and these reprehensible practices. We are talking again about the famous petitions defending pedophilia that I cited above, about the madnesses of Daniel Cohn-Bendit who wrote a libidinous and very unhealthy book in 1975 (“The grand bazaar »). Allusion is made to May 68 and a host of French names are quoted which were celebrated and which are now on the ground. According to the writer Nicolas Gauthier, “It is the end of an era, that of the arrogant Mitterrandian bourgeoisie and, for once, we will not regret the days before” …
1968? And if, to change ideas with a little freshness, to dream of winter sports banned this year because of Covid 19, we put back in the news the Killy, Goitschel, Mir, Périllat, Famose of that spring , 4 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze at the Winter Olympics? Another class!
