Hélene Perlant, Helene Bayrou single and daughter of François BayrouFrench Prime Minister, Head of Government of Emmanuel Macronhe has published a scandalous book telling how often he was beaten by a Catholic priest professor at the Notre-Dame Institute in Bétharram, where his mother taught catechism.
The Institute is located in the tiny town of Lestelle-Bétharram (800 inhabitants), very close to Pau (79,000 inhabitants), in the Bearn region, in the Northwest and the border with Spain. Over there, Bayrou It has been a first -order political figure for half a century.
Weeks ago, more than 200 victims of physical and sexual violence when they were school children and adolescents, filed several private and collective complaints, uncovering cases of pedophilia at the Notre-Dame Institute in Bétharram.
Alain Esquerrehistorian and spokesman of the victims who have decided to tell their intimate and dramatic history in public for the first time, he stated: «Bétharram is the greatest pedophilia scandal in the history of France. We are alone before the beginning of an atrocious story that affects the entire nation ».
Bayrou’s wife was a catechism teacher at that institute, famous throughout the region where the prime minister is a historic regional political figure.
Hélene Perlant He is today 53 years old and has decided to break the silence of the physical violence he suffered in his adolescence, victim of a priest of the institute, during the summer holidays of his fourteen years. The daughter of the French prime minister publishes a book entitled “The silence of Bétharram,” and affirms: “He took me for the hair, one night, threw me down the soils, to kick me and punches my body. You, Bayrou’s daughter, are an insolent as your father. And I fix that, to sticks ».
Perland continues to tell its story in this way: «The priest was very fat, weighed about 120 kilos. He dragged me on the ground. Speaking with rawness, I urinated, I made peanut, of fright, of the beating. I couldn’t sleep that night. The priest and other Bétharram priests worked like a sect, unpunished. No one spoke. It scared us. And they took advantage and martyred us ».
Married and with two children, teacher, Hélene Perlant He continues to tell his story in this way: «My father knew nothing until yesterday. Unconsciously, perhaps I wanted to protect it from the political attacks that I suffered then and now, when I feel forced to speak, publish and declare as a victim of the mafia of that Catholic school.
After his daughter’s revelations, Bayrou has declared: “The heart gets to know me, now, so many years later, the drama suffered by my daughter.”
Father Lartiguet, the aggressor of the daughter of the French prime minister, died in 2000, without anyone telling that and more stories of other women. The revelations of Bayrou’s daughter give the scandal of physical and pedophile violence in a Catholic teaching institute an exceptional importance.
Investigative Commission
Bayrou will have to declare before an investigative commission, which tries to establish the “chain of negligence” that allowed the operation of the Notre-Dame Institute of Bétharram, when the violence were denounced for years without the local political authority (Bayrou) and the national political authority (successive governments of the left and right) decide to intervene. No one forgets that Bayrou was also Minister of National Education between 1993 and 1997. His daughter had been beaten a few years before at the school that was under his “administrative control”, where his wife was a catechism teacher.
The complaint process filed by more than 200 victims runs the risk of being long and complete. It has three dimensions, intimate or familiar, educational and political.
In the political field, Bayrou He insists that he never met the tragedy of physical and pedophile violence that passed in the institute of his wife and daughter. However, the scandal news dotted it daily.
Within the framework of the French school system, it is the greatest scandal of pedophilia and physical violence in the history of France. Detail Nothing Baladí, that runs the risk of digging up black horrors.
In the family field, parents and daughter Bayrou live a tragic story themselves: the silence of the parents about the institute and the daughter’s complaints about it run the risk of digging up old family ghosts.
