Chrysoula Zacharopoulou was appointed Minister of Development last month and is now accused of having gynecological examinations on two women without their consent. The first rape complaint was filed on May 25 and the second on June 16, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. She has not yet commented publicly on the allegations. Details of the allegations have not yet been released, but French media reported that Ms Zacharopoulou, 46, was accused of infiltrating without consent. Rape is defined in French law as any act of intrusion by force, threat, coercion or surprise. Newly appointed disability minister Damien Abad has also been charged with rape by two women. He denies the allegations and has stated that he has no intention of resigning. Home Secretary Gerald Darmanin was also charged with rape several years ago. He denied the allegations and prosecutors demanded that the case be dropped. The latest allegations will be an unwelcome distraction for President Emanuel Macron as he tries to deal with the bitter blow of his party, which lost its parliamentary majority at the weekend.
