It is a tragedy that “hits all of France,” Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday about the murder of a Spanish teacher in Saint Jean de Luz, fatally stabbed by a student on February 22.
“I want to reiterate here our support for the educational community,” said the head of state on the sidelines of a trip to Jarnac, in the Charente, in statements collected by southwest.
Mental health, “a careful issue”
The student suspected of having killed his teacher explained his gesture by “a little voice that speaks to him (…), which incites him to do evil and which would have suggested to him the day before that he commit murder.” A first psychiatric examination revealed “a form of reactive anxiety that could disturb his judgment” and “elements of depression.”
This Tuesday, on this subject, Emmanuel Macron wanted to recall his commitment to “mental health”. “The mental health of young and old, which had been neglected for a long time, is an issue that we have been dealing with for several years,” he said.
In September 2021, Emmanuel Macron closed the Mental Health and Psychiatry Assizes by announcing several measures such as the reimbursement of consultations with psychologists for all and the creation of 800 additional positions within the medical-psychological centers (CMP), accompanied by additional means. .
