The situation was untenable, she said. Marine Rosset, the president of the Scouts and Guides of France, announced her resignation Wednesday August 6 in the newspaper The crossless than two months after his election on June 14. She explains that she suffered many attacks on social networks and by certain members of the Church on her political commitment and her private life. Marine Rosset, PS advisor at the town hall of the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is openly homosexual and pro-abortion. His resignation exasperates certain members of the association.
At the rear of a Parisian church, Noah is preparing the equipment for his scout camp which begins on Saturday, “The essential to camp, the tents, which we put in a large trunk”she explains. The 21 -year -old woman regrets the attacks suffered by Marine Rosset: “For me, no one should receive a wave of any hatred, especially on their private life. I find that it has nothing to do with the fact that she is president. Its function as a political representative, it created a certain ambiguity, okay. But her private life does not look at anyone apart from her. “
Mathilde is of the same age group. This Lille has the impression that the church will never move forward. “During Pope Francis’ pontificate, there were quite positive developments on this subjectin authorizing the blessings of homosexual couples for example. But there, we have the impression that it is a regression “she deplores. This situation, Emeric, head of a group of scouts in Normandy, also regrets it. For him, criticizing a sexual orientation is “opposite” to the values of the association.
“The Scouts and Guides of France are an Apartisan movement. Any hate speech towards someone else is to banish from the scout spirit in the broad sense.”
