The position occupied by Cindy Fabre raised questions

He recalled that the position of director of the national competition did not exist before Sylvie Tellier left in 2022. It had been created for Cindy Fabre. “We laid everything out, questioning the latitude of responsibilities attached to this position and the observation is that as it stands, despite the adjustments that we have been able to make in three years, it is complicated“, he explained.

This is why it was decided not to renew Cindy Fabre's contract. Concerning the future of this position, for the moment no decision has been taken. Frédéric Gilbert wants to take his time and not rush. Many questions are on the table, such as whether the Miss France company can continue without the director of the national competition ?

Failure no longer seems to be allowed within the committee Miss France

While some people may think that having a former Miss France within the company could be beneficial, Frédéric Gilbert wants to give himself time to think. “I don't want to start something again and have a failure in two years by telling myself that this method doesn't work either“, explains Frédéric Gilbert with little perspective on the situation.
