Between Malraux and Dati, a huge gap in cultural ambition – Liberation

There is something quite delicious, or downright sad, about listening to Rachida Dati pay tribute, this Friday, November 14, to André Malraux, the founder of the ministry whose key she has so fiercely maintained today, from renewal to renewal, to occupying media space to the only finish line she has set for herself since her arrival on the rue de Valois: Paris city hall.

And for the kick-off of the “Malraux 2026” operation, Rachida Dati promised from the start of her speech that she would not give up. “self-celebration”, However, he does not seem to understand the dizzying gap that now separates the petty ambition of his ministry and the courage, though enumerated, of his illustrious predecessor.
