French Minister Under Fire for Playboy Photoshoot

French Minister for the social economy, Marlene Schiappa, has faced criticism from both political opponents and colleagues after posing for the cover of Playboy magazine. The fully clothed photoshoot will appear on the cover of the April edition in France. The move has been questioned for its timing, given recent violent clashes between police and striking workers in France. Schiappa defended her decision, stating that women should be free to do what they want with their bodies. The pictures will be accompanied by an interview on women's and gay rights, as well as abortion.
