His name has gone down in posterity as that of the father of the abolition of the death penalty.
A fervent defender of life and human dignity who opposed the legalization of euthanasia, Robert Badinter has received tributes from the nation since his death on February 9.
While his pantheonization is announced in Emmanuel Macron's entourage, with the agreement of his family, the former Keeper of the Seal also receives tributes from New Aquitaine.
On the proposal of Jean-Louis Nembrini (PS), vice-president of the regional council in charge of guidance and education, the new high school in Créon, in Gironde, should be named Robert Badinter.
“This high school did not have a name and naming it Robert Badinter, given that it represents the values of the Republic, seems to us to be a timely idea.
The human dimension of this policy placed the price of life above all else
,” he reacted to Le
Figaro
.
“An example for young people”
A proposal immediately accepted by the mayor of the town, Pierre Gachet (various left).
“Robert Badinter worked a lot as Keeper of the Seals, he is an example of commitment to young people and it would be a good thing for students to see his name at the entrance for years to come
,” explains the councilor of Creon.
A former civil servant in the prison administration, the elected official is also particularly affected by Robert Badinter's action to
“improve the conditions of prisoners”
.
Inaugurated by the former tenant of Place Vendôme in 1986, the semi-open prison Mauzac-et-Grand-Castang in Dordogne, particularly illustrates this according to local politicians.
This high school, financed to the tune of 76.5 million euros by the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region and located in Entre-deux-Mer, is due to open its doors at the start of the 2024 school year to accommodate second year classes.
Over the years, nearly 2000 students will be received in this school which should therefore be called Robert Badinter.
In accordance with the procedure, this name will be submitted to the Créon municipal council for consultation in mid-March, before being submitted to the votes of the regional council and the board of directors of this new high school.
