“Go Girl!”, this is the first message sent by Carla Bruni on Instagram to Rachida Dati who has just been appointed Minister of Culture. With I’ll Be There For You in the background from the credits of the series Friends, Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife rejoices, as a faithful friend would, at the new position of the former Minister of Justice under the presidency of her husband.
Thursday January 11, Rachida Dati was appointed to the post of Minister of Culture by the new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. The former president of the LR national council has always been close to Nicolas Sarkozy. In 2002, she became his ministerial advisor. In 2006, she joined her party (UMP). In 2007, after being the spokesperson for his presidential campaign, she finally joined the government of François Fillon under the presidency of Sarkozy until 2009.
In October 2022, on the show Quelle Époque! on France 2, Rachida Dati confessed her “lifelong gratitude” to Carla Bruni who “did something for me and for my daughter which was fundamental,” she said. “She is a courageous woman. And, frankly, she’s not tied up in any status or anything. She is, as she is for real! I saw her really fight for the people she loves,” she added. That evening, Rachida Dati had no shortage of praise for her: “When I launched into the Paris campaign, it was another woman, Carla Bruni, who was one of the first to join my support committee. Everyone knows her as an artist, but few know who she really is, how generous she is.”
