French right pushes for national tribute to film star Brigitte Bardot
French right-wing figure Éric Ciotti is pushing for a national tribute to honor the late film legend Brigitte Bardot, who passed away at 91. However, political opponents question the idea due to Bardot's controversial past and legal issues. Despite objections, Ciotti believes Bardot, known for advocating women's rights and animal welfare, deserves recognition for her international fame and contributions to French culture. The call for a national tribute sparks a debate, with some supporting the idea while others raise concerns over Bardot's divisive legacy.
