Caricature de Daryl Cagle, Cagle cartoons
Nos voisins du sud avait accordé une couverture médiatique complètement folle aux incidents impliquant DSK dans un hôtel de New York. Depuis cette accusation d'agression sexuelle on mentionnait bien peu son nom dans les médias américains. L'ouverture de son procès pour proxénétisme le replace dans l'actualité.
"French judges described Strauss-Kahn as the “king of the party” — the “linchpin” who orchestrated what amounted to “carnage on a pile of mattresses on the floor,” where Strauss-Kahn allegedly partook in “pure sexual consumption.” These were no ordinary swingers’ parties, a French legal document reported by the Telegraph said. It was “factory line sex” and “orders for services.”
But beyond its salacious aspects, the case is something of a crossroads for French society. Bolstered by strict privacy laws, French journalists long prided themselves on their discretion when it came to the personal lives of public figures. Leave the sensational sex scandals to the Americans and the Brits. Personal lives — like Strauss-Kahn’s — that brim with the lurid should stay in the shadows. Until it becomes a legal matter.
“If a politician is alcoholic, that’s his private life,” Christophe Barbier, editor of L’Express, told Reuters in 2011. “If he walks the streets screaming out loud in the middle of the night and gets arrested by the police, we talk about it.”
