Hommage.

Simone Veil known an outstanding fate. Survivor of the camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau she became a french stateswoman. Appointed Minister for Health in 1974 she made pass a law decriminalizing the recourse to the abortion, becoming an icon of the fight against the discrimination of women in France.
From 1979 till 1982 she was the first president elected of the European parliament and, in 2008, she was elected to the Académie Française...
She died in Paris, last june.

I like very much the discreet " Merci Madame - thank you Madam " added by an anonymous hand, lower right of the graffiti...

Simone Veil connu un destin hors du commun. Survivante des camps d’Auschwitz-Birkenau elle s’éleva au rang de femme d’état. Nommée ministre de la santé en 1974 elle fit voter une loi dépénalisant le recours à l’interruption volontaire de grossesse, devenant ainsi une icône de la lutte contre la discrimination des femmes en France.
De 1979 à 1982 elle fut la première présidente élue du parlement Européen et, en 2008 elle fut élue à l’Académie Française...

J’aime beaucoup le discret «merci Madame» ajouté par une main anonyme, en bas à droite du graffiti...
