During her visit to Pondicherry in January 2025, Muriel Pénicaud was the subject of an article in "The Hindu" newspaper, on the sidelines of her exhibitions and conferences.
Extract: "The former French Minister of Labour in the government of Prime Minister Édouard Philippe under President Emmanuel Macron (2017-2020) is arriving in the city this week to demonstrate her parallel evolution as an artist-photographer over a long career of juggling diverse roles as diplomat, writer, lecturer and business leader. As a prominent figure in the liberal-centrist mould of France's Renaissance party, one of Ms. Pénicaud's signature accomplishments came when, as Minister, she spearheaded the reform of the Labour Code (2017) and the law 'For the freedom to choose one's professional future' (2018), which led to massive development of apprenticeships, the launch of the personal training account in euros and progress in professional equality between women and men (EgaPro Index)."
