French President Emmanuel Macron opposed the deprivation of the Legion of Honor of actor Gerard Depardieu, based on media publications, and called for the protection of the presumption of innocence. In an interview with a television channel France 5 He noted that the order was not given to teach moral lessons, and that it was unacceptable for the artist to be taken away from him through a television news report.
The President rejected the possibility of obtaining the order based on people’s statements, saying that this was not a moral order and that there were judicial procedures that had to take their course. Macron emphasized that he defends values, including the presumption of innocence.
Spanish journalist Ruth Basa accused French actor Gerard Depardieu for an alleged sexual assault that occurred in 1995.
This isn’t the first scandal the actor has been involved in this year. Depardieu has already been stripped of France’s highest award, the Legion of Honor, for offensive remarks towards women.
The reason for this was a documentary film that featured a segment visiting North Korea. In Korea, the actor allowed offensive remarks towards women and a little girl.
