In fact, the anthem was sung by a solist. Some gov members chose to sing along, some not. But the one who was put on fire by RW detractor, is Christiane Taubara, the Justice minister. Many leaders from the rw and even more, far right top advidors of Mme Marine Le Pen, along with prominent reactionnary activists of La Manif Pour tous, the well known " French Tea Party" who protested against gay marriage bill, called her to resign.
As a French strong political observer, I can assure you this is not the first time.
Mrs Taubira is almost constanltly harrassed by our righter, most of it because she uis a strong outspoken accomplished woman, who never surrender to her opponents.
Mrs Taubira comes from French Guiana, and his a lifelong activist to the human rights issues, particulary for in the 90 having pushed for a memorial law recognizing officialy the slavery as a crime agains humanity.
So, you see, we are becoming like USA in the Bush Era.
The RWingers never forgot her for that. Because their consciences where shattered by what she did.
So since almost the first day she's in office they are harrassing her.
During the gay marriage debate, she was labelled by rw media a "monkey eating bananas"
And worse? Far right activist networks began to spread the rumour that.....her son is in jail for murdering.
The news is since constantly relayed bu the RW and most -readed national newspaper, le Figaro, owned by a powerful corporate UMP senator, Mr Serge Dassault. This newspaper is known to suppres comments who sounds too "lefty" under his website and FB page, while maintaining xenophobia and hate mongerin ones. I have been once censored 10 times a day, while reacting. Mr Dassault owns the military provider of weapon anterprise, Dassault Aviation. He's also had a trial ( with no consequences for him) on election fraud , including " ballots buying"
