Éric Ciotti, a French right-wing figure, has called for a national tribute to honor Brigitte Bardot, who recently passed away at 91. While some support this initiative, including President Macron, others, like Socialist leader Olivier Faure, argue that Bardot's controversial past and her departure from republican values disqualify her from such honors. Bardot was a celebrated actress and animal welfare advocate but also faced criticism for her far-right sympathies. The mayor of Nice plans to name a site after her, but opinions on the tribute remain divided.
