Juliette explains why France needs 41 ministers*, we discuss some of them** to get a general idea of these people and why one country needs 41. Juliette also explains what the three levels of ministers in the French government are all about. *and yet, two weeks after Paralympics they almost forgot to appoint one for people with handicaps.. **Here's a telling quote from the Minister of Education, Anne Genetet, who used to run a "Maid agency" in Singapore: "Don't hire a maid who has already worked for Westerners, she might be more demanding." We also spend time on Gisèle Pelicot and the French mass rape trial. What does this mean for French society?
