“What the feminists of #MeToo criticize the justice, and I can understand it, it is the question of the prescription”
, began Élisabeth Badinter, guest this Wednesday on France Inter, in the morning of Léa Salamé and Nicolas Demorand.
The new host of the show "Quelle époque" cuts it:
"As you know, we often don't file a complaint immediately...".
Answer:
"Excuse me, between immediately and ten years...
".

"You have to take responsibility"
“If we put an end to the prescription,
continues Élisabeth Badinter, who calls herself the spiritual daughter of Simone de Beauvoir
, that would mean that we equate gender-based violence with crimes against humanity.
It is not possible.
You have to be a bit logical.
Violence against women is punished.
But finally, are these crimes against humanity?
We must not exaggerate, it is even indecent in my opinion (...) We must take our responsibilities.
I understand very well that it is difficult to talk about for a while, but still ten years is not so bad”.
The prescription is, in fact, increased in 2017 from ten to twenty years.
The words of Elisabeth Badinter, who fears nothing as long as we turn our backs on the judiciary to exercise her own justice
"as within the Nupes"
, have aroused many reactions.
Presumed victims of the actions of Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, directly concerned by this question of prescription, spoke.
“This morning, Elisabeth Badinter explains to me that I am irresponsible and indecent.
Indecency is impunity
,” wrote Hélène Devynck on Twitter, who published
Impunity
on September 23 , a chilling account of the system that reigned at TF1.
Cécile Delarue evokes "a shipwreck"
The journalist detailed her position in a column published in July 2021 in
Le Monde
, co-signed by seven other women:
“In the state of the law and its application, the reasoning holds.
Time has erased the possibility of repair.
Taken in isolation – it is too late, or the evidence is too weak – our complaints are no longer valid.
The law is powerless.
The law cannot hear us (...) The problem is that we are all talking about the same man (...) Not to wonder about what allowed him to wreak havoc without getting caught during decades turns to blindness.”

Cécile Delarue, another journalist who accuses Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, was even more shocked.
“Shipwreck of Élisabeth Badinter this morning.
Qualify as indecent the movement of women who speak today of the rapes they suffered outside the statute of limitations.
INDECENT!
Dare the comparison with crimes against humanity!
It is shameful.
And for once, INDECENT.”
