Special envoy to Pantin (Seine-Saint-Denis)
To discover
Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
“
This subject must be a national cause.
"After inaugurating her campaign HQ and revealing the complete organization chart of her team, Valérie Pécresse moved on Tuesday to Pantin (Seine-Saint-Denis), to the premises of the National Federation of Solidarity Women (FNSF), a association which fights against violence against women. Accompanied by Aurélien Pradié, one of her spokespersons very advanced on these subjects, the candidate spoke for more than two hours with the leaders of the organization, but also with women who have suffered domestic violence.
“
Today we heard from women who told us about the dysfunction of the system.
Instead of playing political politics, the government must take up these questions,
”she insisted at the end of these discussions.
According to her, if the subject is very present in the news, it is not dealt with by the executive.
While in 2021, some 113 women were killed by their spouses, they are already three to have suffered the same sad fate since the beginning of the year 2022.
Several measures
According to Valérie Pécresse, if measures already exist to fight against feminicides, they must now "
be applied
". "
The law exists, but we must go further,
" she pleads. Thus, if she is elected next April, the president of the Île-de-France region wishes to set up a specialized court on "
violence within the family
".
A body present throughout the country which will be able to "
decide quickly
" and "
install a specific justice
", and which would also allow better respect of the "
six-day period
" for issuing protection orders. In addition, Valérie Pécresse wishes to increase by 50% in five years the budget of the courts. “
Our justice is drowned, it judges late. It's unfair for the victims, especially for these women,
”she explains.
In a column published in
Le Monde
, Valérie Pécresse and Aurélien Pradié also announced a whole series of measures that the candidate would put in place if she was elected.
These include the better training of police and gendarmes in the reception and monitoring of women victims of violence, as well as the increase in the number of emergency accommodation that can accommodate them.
"
We want to prevent the law of the strongest and ensure respect for the right of every human being, and therefore, of women, to have a serene life without being eaten up by fear, including after having lodged a complaint,
" he said. she insisted on her trip to Pantin.
A postponed debate
In 2019, Aurélien Pradié had already succeeded in moving the subject forward by successfully passing his bill to act against violence against women. The flagship measure of the text was the installation of an anti-rapprochement bracelet to keep the perpetrator of violence away from the victim.
The right now wants to go even further.
At the request of LR deputies, a debate on "
the application of the law aimed at acting against violence within the family
" was to be held this Tuesday evening in the National Assembly.
But he was eclipsed by the review of the vaccine pass bill, suspended last night.
A postponement that Valérie Pécresse regrets.
“
This subject deserved to be examined tonight,
” she laments.
If she is elected, the candidate promises that the text on the creation of a specialized jurisdiction for this violence will be one of "
the first
" of her five-year term.
