Des témoins accusent François Bayrou, ministre de l’éducation de 1993 à 1997, d’avoir été informé d’accusations de violences sexuelles au sein de l’établissement Notre-Dame de Bétharram, ce qu’il dément. Vendredi, un ancien surveillant a été mis en examen pour viol.
Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed his full confidence in François Bayrou amidst allegations that Bayrou, as Education Minister in the 1990s, was aware of sexual violence accusations at the Notre-Dame de Bétharram institution, which he denies. An ex-surveillant has been charged with rape and detained, while two others were released due to prescription. The Ciivise commission has called for an audit of alert systems in institutions following the case.
