Outrage in France as Macron Appoints Senator Who Fought Gay Marriage to Key Rights Job The appointment of Senator François Noël Buffet as France's new Defender of Rights has sparked widespread outrage, with critics arguing that his history of opposing equal rights makes him an unsuitable choice for the role.
Despite fierce opposition from human rights groups, Buffet was elected to the position in a vote that highlighted the ongoing struggle for representation and equality in France.
Buffet's views on issues such as racism, homophobia, and xenophobia have been well documented, including his vocal opposition to same sex marriage and medically assisted reproduction for single women and lesbian couples.
