“The Best Pastry Chef”: Véronique Massonneau, a former EELV Member of the Kitchen – Le HuffPost

TELEVISION – If her face says something to you, it’s okay. The show “The Best Pastry Chef” account, this Thursday, October 7 for her cover show on M6, broadcast from 9:05 pm, a candidate like no other in the person of Véronique Massonneau.

This former politician, today 62 years old, had been notably environmental deputy of Vienne between 2012 and 2017. Among his feats of arms in the National Assembly: his bill for the end of life, that she had defended with emotion.

But the former member had also been the victim of the “poulegate”, a particularly inglorious moment of parliamentary sexism, during which a UMP deputy had imitated a hen to make fun of her as she spoke during the pension reform. A humiliating gesture but subsequently sharply criticized and for which its author was sanctioned: to the point where the deputy had then estimated, in a forum on The HuffPost, which he had served in the cause of greater respect for women in the Assembly.

Registered on M6 by his son

Véronique Massonneau had unveiled her participation in the “Meilleur Pâtissier” on M6 on her Twitter account on September 27, evoking “strong emotional moments” to be expected.

In a long drawn portrait through Le Figaro, she explains in fact having been “much more stressed before the start of the show than before speaking at the Assembly” due to the format of the program and a competition which can be nerve-racking.
