“We must keep our promises”: the appeal of Andréa Bescond and Flavie Flament to Emmanuel Macron: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

Monday January 25, 2021, Yann Barthès received in Daily Flavie Flament and Andréa Bescond to discuss the Billon law aimed at create a new sex crime to protect those under 13. A breakthrough that is not enough according to the two women, victims of rape when they were minors. After "two years" of a fighter "exhausting" to increase the limitation period from twenty to thirty years, the host and actress wish the end of the prescription, but also "the introduction of traumatic amnesia into the law".

"We have already achieved thirty years, which is the maximum of the limitation period today. There is still, of course, a lot to be done," added the one who shared her life for a long time with Benjamin Castaldi. Lamenting that "rapes committed on minors under fifteen, thirteen and fifteen " be qualified "sexual assault" in addition to being "treated by a correctional", the author of Tickling is exasperated to know that "the aggressors are suspended " when the complaints filed are not dismissed. "It is very inexpensive to pay, and above all, the victims are not accompanied, are not heard by the courts. We are alone! And that must change!", she hammered.

Flavie Flament reminds Emmanuel Macron of his "personal convictions "

Before adding: "We cannot wait! It is urgent, we know it. And that must be done. It is a real political will, especially since there is a whole political opinion which is in the process of rising! " Flavie Flament then recalled: "It was part of the government's commitments. We were at the Élysée in 2017 and we knew that it was the great cause of the quinquennium". The actress pointed out that Emmanuel Macron "committed in November 2017 to establishing a fifteen-year non-consent threshold to protect minors". With a touch of irony, Flavie Flament specifies: "Speaking of personal conviction". Now, the two women invite the President of the Republic to follow through on his commitment: "You have to keep your promises".
