A deputy breaks the silence.
On Twitter Monday, January 18, the macronist Bruno Questel revealed on Twitter that he had been raped in his childhood.
“He was not from my family, he was from the village;
of those places where the family is big.
I was 11 years old.
I never forgot.
No excuse possible.
No forgiveness possible.
No rest for the perpetrators of these acts.
You have to be indignant every second, ”
he wrote in response to an excerpt from Jack Lang's interview with Europe 1. The former Minister of Culture, suspected of being aware of the actions of Olivier Duhamel, indicated that he could not
"be indignant every minute"
but affirmed that the acts of incest, reproached to the political scientist, were
"a shame"
.
"There is no cure for this"
Invited Tuesday on France Bleu, Bruno Questel returned to this rape at greater length.
"I wanted through this tweet to say 'stop' to a form of speech that I find unbearable, according to which at the time freedom in all its dimension could justify overflows of this kind"
, he explains, while the facts go back to the 70s.
“These are lives that are crushed, you live with that all your life.
It cannot be fixed, ”
continues the deputy for Eure.
“
I knew him.
You forget, it's a form of traumatic amnesia, and one day it pisses you off, and it's complicated
, he recalls.
You relive the events, you find this form of loneliness which was yours at the time of the facts and after.
I can tell you it's not going away, there's no cure for it.
It does not prevent building, it does not prevent love, it does not prevent having children, carrying them, protecting them.
But it's a different life than the one you should have had, I'm sure
”.
