A winemaker accused of having insulted Sandrine Rousseau in 2023 at the Aude, screaming “will do the soup, whore!” It was sentenced this Friday, May 17, a fine of 2,500 euros suspended, the environment member told AFP. The 65 -year -old Winegrower will also have to pay a symbolic euro of damage to the deputy, as she had asked.
On March 28, at the hearing, prosecutor Géraldine Labialle had requested a fine of 3,000 euros, including 2,000 suspended words, denouncing “imbued with uninhibited sexism and misogyny” constituting “the person responsible for the public service.”
“They are not things to say. It is not good. I apologize to Madame Rousseau, if she wants to accept them,” said the 65 -year -old wine grower to the helm, emphasizing that “tired” for his long days of work, he was not in his “normal state” at the time of the events.
“Sexist” words
Incriminated comments were made on June 12, 2023, while the National Secretary of Ecologists Marine Tondelier and Sandrine Rousseau, who came to support the opponents of a golf project in AUDE, were taken to the task of Audois Ramewers that wanted to prevent them from accessing a wine farm to meet the activists.
Sandrine Rousseau had underlined “physical intimidation” suffered that day and the “sexist” comments aimed in particular to “deny (their mandates” and exclude women from “public debate.”
Shortly after the audience, he also mentioned disagreements with these wines about the use of pesticides to which environmentalists oppose, adding that today he cannot poison nature or put women in the kitchen. “
The Court’s decision “is a victory for all women,” he said Friday night. “Not of us must be assigned to soup or be treated with ‘dirty’, which is at the origin of the word ‘bitch’,” he told AFP.
