On the occasion of the national tribute to the former lawyer Gisèle Halimi organized this Wednesday, March 8 at the Paris courthouse, her son, Jean-Yves Halimi, was received on the set of C à Vous. The latter briefly mentioned his brother, Serge, a journalist, who refused to take part in the ceremony.
This Wednesday, March 8 marks International Women’s Day. A symbolic date that Emmanuel Macron chose to pay national tribute to former lawyer Gisèle Halimi, feminist activist, who died in July 2020 at the age of 93. The highest representatives of the nation were present, as was Jean-Yves Halimi, lawyer and eldest son of the lawyer, who gave a moving speech about his relationship with his mother. “We had storms, eclipses, some winters and many summers. But the capricious sky of our relationship was never clouded with the dark clouds of indifference, which alone could have altered the strength of our bond.“, did he declare.
If Jean-Yves Halimi was present, another son of Gisèle Halimi, Serge, had decided to boycott the ceremony. This last accused the Elysée of wanting to make political recoverywhile considering that the moment was particularly badly chosen, while the country is mobilized against “an extremely unfair pension reform” which his mother would have fiercely opposed if she were still alive, according to him.
Gisèle Halimi would have said “bravo to Emmanuel Macron” according to her son Jean-Yves
Jean-Yves Halimi, received by the C à Vous team on Wednesday, returned to his brother’s rant. Unlike Serge Halimi, the lawyer is convinced that his mother would have said “Congratulations to Macron“after his announcement of wanting to include abortion in the Constitution.”I don’t want to argue with my brother, which I like very much by the way, but for a few days, he ‘lost’ my telephone number. Since he’s a very neat boy, I’m sure he’ll find it eventually“, he first dropped before adding: “I’ll just tell him two things: ‘A man can’t help himself’, and ‘It’s sometimes useful to build up your superego.‘”. You will understand, the atmosphere is not good between the two sons of Gisèle Halimi!
