Aurélie, survivor of domestic violence, is today worried about the justice system for the rents of her ex-spouse. The young woman’s lawyer denounces “an unbearable internal dysfunction”.
In March 2018, Aurélie (an assumed name) left her spouse, in order to break a circle of domestic violence. At the same time, she sends a letter to her landlord in Toulon, in order to dissociate herself from her ex-spouse on the lease of the apartment, which she is leaving. But in December 2018, Aurélie was hit by her ex-companion with at least 59 stab wounds in front of their son’s school and in the presence of the child. She miraculously escapes.
After the facts, the man was remanded in custody and then sentenced to 25 years in prison in September 2021. However, he never terminated the lease, whose rents are still running. However, the bailiffs are attacking Aurélie today. She describes the violence of these complaints to France Bleu Toulon: “This situation is very difficult to live with. It’s like I’m a victim a second time for I have this sword of Damocles over my head. I don’t know when I will be able to resume a pseudo-normal life. I really feel like I’m alone in the world. When you are a victim of violence, you shouldn’t have so much pressure and problems to deal with. It would be logical for me to be accompanied to the end! “

However, she only wants one thing: to finally be able to turn the page”. For his part, Me Laurent Gavarri, his partner, hope at the microphone of France Bleu “that this is only an internal dysfunction of the donor and that everything will quickly return to order, because this issue is unbearable. We have heard for several years that the fight against domestic violence is a national priority, It should therefore no longer be possible for a victim of an attempted homicide by more than 59 stab wounds to live this situation. While progress has been made in prevention, it is also necessary to improve the social monitoring of victims of violence. conjugal “.
