This Monday, November 18, the program “Bonsoir chez vous”, presented by Saskia Violette, focuses on road safety, but also on the four-day week. Four people are invited to the set this Monday: Alain Raviart, expert in crisis communications, Céline Aron, CEO of So Blonde Management, Jean Kitenge, president of DéFI Jeunes and Mathieu Ladeveze, deputy editor-in-chief of DH.
Today's show begins with the subject of accidents between motorists and weak users. A year ago, a 24-year-old girl named Romane was struck down on an electric scooter by a drunk driver. His parents are now asking to include the term road homicide in the law. Should Belgium punish this type of action more severely? Céline Aron thinks that this situation is not limited to Belgium and that similar events are also occurring in France. According to her, we “must be more severe. I think it's a maximum of 5 years of imprisonment, that doesn't seem like much for a lifetime. The European Union must align itself.” Jean Kitenge agrees with the fact that driving under the influence is a “voluntary act. There is a responsibility that is taken. I have a problem with talking about road homicide because in the philosophy of law itself it there is a concern, it risks penalizing all the people who did not do it on purpose. The term harms the plurality of cases which can arise. However, an aggravating circumstance is clear that it should become. ” Alain Raviart believes that “everything must remain consistent with the law as a whole and that there be no exceptional law”.
