Daughter of French PM reveals history of abuse in Catholic camp

ai generated text

François Bayrou's eldest daughter, Hélène Perlant, has accused a priest of beating her during summer camp when she was 14 years old. The incident occurred at Notre-Dame de Bétharram boarding school in the Pyrenees, where Perlant was a pupil in the 1980s. Bayrou, a former education minister and local official, was not aware of the incident at the time, according to Perlant.

    1. As a father, it stabs me in the heart.
    2. As a father, that stabs me in the heart… It's almost unbearable.
    3. For me, the main question is the silence that surrounded these actions.

    1. I wet myself and stayed like that all night, damp and rolled up in a ball in my sleeping bag.
    2. I kept quiet about it for 30 years.
    3. Betharram was organised like a sect or a totalitarian regime exercising psychological pressure on pupils and teachers so they stayed silent.
    4. Perhaps unconsciously I wanted to protect my father from political blows he was receiving locally.
    5. One night when we were unpacking our sleeping bags, (Father) Lartiguet suddenly grabbed me by the hair, dragged me across the floor for several metres, then punched and kicked me all over, especially in the stomach.
