Despite a government announcement announcing the relaunch of the mission, the green light had been awaited for a long time by those concerned. They will be able to return to service. The MP Sandrine Josso (Modem) and the senator from Meurthe-et-Moselle (RDSE), Véronique Guillotin will be able to resume their parliamentary mission relating to chemical submission.
A decree dating from November 15 formalizes the resumption of this mission.
The start of their work began in April 2024. But the work and hearings carried out by the two parliamentarians came to a halt, as a reminder, with the dissolution of the National Assembly pronounced in June by Emmanuel Macron.
Since then, the two elected officials had increased calls for the resumption of this parliamentary mission, particularly in the context of the trial of the Pélicot affair. They had notably written to the President of the Republic and to Prime Minister Michel Barnier to this effect, last September. The senator from Meurthe-et-Moselle had also, last October, attended the trial of Dominique Pélicot and the 50 other men tried for the aggravated rape with chemical submission of the wife of the first, Gisèle Pélicot, at the court of Avignon. “All are appearing for rape with aggravating circumstances. All have pleaded not guilty. There was a real reaction of denial,” she lamented.
