President of the Republicans Éric Ciotti on Tuesday denounced
"unworthy"
attacks after an article by Mediapart on the conditions of care for his paralyzed mother, ensuring that he had
"never intervened"
to give her preferential treatment.
“I never intervened with anyone and in any way whatsoever”
in this care, he said on BFMTV / RMC, judging that
“we have reached the summit of the despicable”
.
In an article published on Monday, Mediapart affirms that the mother of the deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes has occupied for more than 18 years a place in a hospital in the valley of Vésubie
"yet reserved for short-term care"
.
In this service
"support is fully provided by Social Security"
(excluding hospital package), which would have allowed the Ciotti family to save
"more than 526,000 euros"
according to Mediapart.

“It is not me who manages his hospitalization but doctors who have decided on his situation”

.
But "
we went to dig into the medical records of my mother who is quadriplegic"

For politics to reach this level of gutter, for people to come and say that my mother cannot be entitled to certain care in the state she is in, it is disgusting, it is despicable, and it is shameful

, added the boss of LR for whom
"it's not journalism"
.
And to promise:
"I will denounce all the attacks that will be made on this subject"
