The news sometimes plays curious tricks. Take Paul Magnette. The president of the PS, the first French-speaking party, present at the summer universities of the socialists this Saturday, was completely eclipsed from the media playground by an epiphenomenon pastry chef sent to the face of his political opponent n ° 1.
And this Monday, it is through his… absence that the mayor of Charleroi once once more becomes a driving force of discussion. He has indeed refused to participate in the debate of party presidents organized by our colleagues in Le Soir. An empty chair strategy that he has already experienced elsewhere, has become a guideline for the leader of the left party.
The reason ? Paul Magnette refuses to appear in debates where only men discuss or even those where women are under-represented. The posture is both political and ideological: it wants to be, if not feminist, at the very least egalitarian. It does not lack meaning, but will not win the medal of consistency: at all times, the PS has never been chaired by a woman. Not even halfway, as Ecolo has been for 15 years.
Well-ordered charity begins with oneself, right?
