French President expels Harvey Weinstein from the Legion of Honor
French President Emmanuel Macron intends to exclude Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein from the Legion of Honor. He himself announced this on his official page on the social network Twitter. According to the head of state, he has already given the appropriate order to the Grand Chancellor of the Order, and in the near future the council should resolve this issue. Note that, according to the regulations, it is possible to lose membership in the Order for committing criminal offenses or actions that threaten the interests or prestige of the French Republic. Harvey Weinstein was honored to become a member of the Order in 2012. Recall that earlier Weinstein, convicted of numerous sexual harassment at home, was expelled from the American and British Film Academies. High-ranking British politicians recommended that the Prime Minister petition for the expulsion of the producer from the Order of the British Empire. The police launched an investigation into the sexual harassment to determine the possibility of criminal prosecution. Officials of Weinstein himself deny the involvement of their client in criminal acts. The Topic of Article: French President expels Harvey Weinstein from the Legion of Honor. |
