Minister sex scandal in book

PARIS - CRITICISM is mounting against French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand over an autobiographical book in which he describes paying boys for sex in Thailand.

CONCERN about the book resurfaced in French political circles after Mr Mitterrand's impassioned defence of Roman Polanski last week.

The director was arrested in Switzerland on US charges of having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977 in Los Angeles.

The Socialist Party spokesman on Wednesday joined the leader of the far right National Front party in questioning Mitterrand's fitness for his job. Mr Mitterrand, nephew of late President Francois Mitterrand, said it was a 'disgrace' that his fellow leftists had joined in the criticism. Mr Mitterrand's 2005 book, La mauvaise vie or The Bad Life, describes painful periods in his childhood and his homosexuality. One passage describes his 'bad habit of paying for boys' in Thailand. Mitterrand later denied he was a pedophile, saying on France-3 television that he uses the term 'boys' loosely. Mr Mitterrand was a television personality when the book came out but not in the government. President Nicolas Sarkozy named Mitterrand culture minister in June this year. -- AP
