The director of the institution, Pierre Silviet-Carricart, has been charged of the case of sexual assault. François Bayrou asked the investigating judge for a meeting at his place. The discussion was around the risks for the Bayrous' son, then a student at the boarding school. François Bayrou's wife attended the director's funeral in 2000.

At Parliament, on 11th February 2025, François Bayrou was representing the government for the weekly question-and-answer session. When asked about #Bétharram, he stated before the National Assembly that he had "never been informed of any violence, and even less of sexual violence".

François #Bayrou is the current Prime Minister of #France.

In 1996, violence was denounced in the elite catholic school of his constituency. He made an official visit as both the then Minister of National Education and a member of the National Assembly for a seat in Béarn (the province of the school). He told the regional press: "The people of Béarn felt these attacks with a sense of pain and a sense of injustice. […] All the checks were favourable and positive."

"28. Member States should instil a culture of the rights of the child and of responsibility of all professionals and adults in contact with children. Member States should consider systematically developing professional protocols and standards on child protection procedures and child protection safeguards, with the aim of ensuring that all organisations working for and with children have robust child protection policies and reporting mechanisms for situations of violence in place."

"Incestuous rapes are bargain rapes committed by good guys who are not bad guys, but men who find it legitimate for women and children to be at their sexual disposal".

Asking people to calm down protects privilege – and silences people who are hurting.
