There is more than just politics in Rachida Dati’s life. The candidate for mayor of Paris is also the mother of a teenager now aged 17. And she confided with her legendary frankness about her daughter, very different from her!

Usually very discreet about her relationship with her only daughter, Zohra, the right-wing candidate for mayor of Paris made a departure on the subject during her campaign. Thus, she returned at length to their relationship… sometimes conflicting. “It’s not easy!”she confided, laughing, during her video interview for the channel Privately withon YouTube. Before specifying: “Everything is in turmoil at 17, so it’s not easy…”
And Rachida Dati to be honest about the way in which she raises her only daughter alone: “Everything I do never goes well. I am very involved in her education, so she asks me, in parent-teacher meetings, not to speak, not to ask questions, not to talk to the other parents… She tells me: ‘Don’t bring her back.’ I quote.” She is the only one to dare to say that to Rachida Dati, she who has the reputation of making the political class tremble, even in her camp, with her punchlines legendary.
Zohra, Rachida Dati’s only daughter, is experiencing a “very complicated time” ? “It worries him”

And the former Minister of Culture added: “I think that for her it’s very complicated, she lived through a very complicated time. We don’t have the same temperament at all. We don’t have the same personality at all”. And for good reason, the only daughter of Rachida Dati, born from a brief affair with Dominique Desseigne, “internalize”. “And she’s in a lot of pain.”according to his mother.
“And then the other aspect is that she says to herself: ‘Can mom hold on?’ So she said to me: ‘But mom, you’re not going to die? But mom, aren’t you going to be sick?’ It makes him anxious, and so I know it’s not okay.”even confided Rachida Dati. Before concluding: “She is my priority, even if I don’t spend a lot of time with her, even if sometimes it’s complicated, she remains my priority”.
