“A liberating moment”: Bayrou is welcomed to “demonstrated that everything had no basis” during his audience in the case of Betharram

“For me it was a little liberating moment,” Prime Minister François Bayrou said on Wednesday, May 14 at the end of his long hearing before the Commission for Research on Violence in the School Environment, who asked him about Betharram’s scandal.

Accused of having lied about what he knew or not in this case of sexual and physical violence in Betharram’s university type, the head of government said that “there were positions for four months without (he) to be able to respond.”

François Bayrou offensive

François Bayrou was delighted to have had “for the first time the possibility of bringing, not denials or arguments, but evidence,” he added: “I cannot let the truth be so scratched on the card.”

The latter is delighted to have had “the possibility of bringing, not denials or arguments, but evidence” and “show that everything had no basis.” “I can’t let the truth be so scratched on the map,” explains François Bayrou, after more than five hours of hearing.

The Prime Minister deplores that the “victims” were “completely absent” of the questions during their audience.

For more than five hours of hearing in the National Assembly, the prime minister virulently rejected the accusations of lies or intervention with justice in the case of Betharram in front of his main opponent of France, Insumise Paul Vannier, who accused him of “avoiding” his responsibilities.

“I have not covered the practices they are.

His relationship with former judge Mirande questioned

This scandal intimately affects the Jew of Matignon, former minister and former deputy, who has educated several of his children in this renowned Catholic establishment, located near Pau, the city of which he remained mayor, and where his wife taught catechism.

Among the detailed questions, François Bayrou had to explain his relationship with a former investigating judge, Christian Mirande, who was also his neighbor. The magistrate was in charge of the violation archive that involved a religious of the establishment, Father Carricart, and in 1998 he had received the visit from François Bayrou to discuss this case.

The latter also focused on the details of the inspection report he had ordered as Minister of National Education in 1996 after a complaint and was favorable to the establishment.

In addition, he implied the audience of a former Mathematics professor at Betharram, Françoise Gullung, who says he has alerted him several times, calling him “manufacturing”

The Pau prosecutor’s office has carried out the investigation for a year in approximately 200 complaints to supposedly for violence and violation in Betharram’s notre-Dame establishment between the seventies and ninety years.
