French Official Won't Resign Over Pederasty Allegations

October 13, 2009 | ISSUE 45•42

French culture minister Frédéric Mitterrand is refusing to resign following controversy over a passage in his book The Bad Life that insinuates he paid for sex with boys in Thailand. What do you think?

Steven Tetley

Now I really can't wait to read all the dirt in German federal minister of food, agriculture and consumer protection’s Ilse Aigner's new tell-all!"

Hannah Piccarreto
