The mooring strategy – Liberation

Those who were waiting for some form of truth from the hearing of François Bayrou before the parliamentary commission of inquiry on Betharram will be very disappointed. The Prime Minister posted it from the start: the best defense is the attack. He chose to denigrate the commission not « Objective », Instrument according to him of a political cabal orchestrated by the rebellious deputy Paul Vannier. The strategy was clear: confuse. Possessly the work the pack by Charlotte Belaïch (journalist at Release) and Olivier Pérou, who denounces the clan system within LFI, the Prime Minister has undertaken to never answer the questions of the deputies. He focused on questioning the methods of the parliamentary committee, and the credibility of testimonies, in particular that of the teacher Françoise Gullung. In order to throw discredit in advance on the results of these hearings, expected in June?

In the midst of these political invectives and various denigration, where are the victims? Beyond the posture, this case sticks it like the sparadrap of Captain Haddock. Asked here as Prime Minister, he himself made the link between the staff and the political aspect, while five of his children were educated in Betharram, that her daughter Hélène Péllant testified to the violence sufferedthat his wife taught catechism there … « I have never set foot in the school », insisted the Prime Minister. Even if he didn’t go there, Betharram was all around him. At a minimum, confession of transparency, while such facts occurred in his department, in the school of his children, while he was Minister of Education. Not to mention the indecency to ask themselves as a victim in a case where so many children have suffered violence. From this political fight, the truth does not come out growing.
