After the weak conviction of the author of the death threats aimed at a principal, Bruno Bobkiewicz, general secretary of the union of management personnel of National Education, announced on RMC this Wednesday that his union, which has become a civil party, will appeal this judgment, as will the principal concerned, as well as the prosecution.
A conviction that does not pass. The Paris Criminal Court on Monday, November 18 sentenced the author of the death threats against the principal of the Parisian high school Maurice Ravel, after an altercation with a student refusing to remove her veil, to a sentence of 60 days – fine of 10 euros each , or 600 euros. The court also sentenced him to complete a five-day citizenship course and to pay 3,000 euros in damages to Philippe Le Guillou, principal at the time of the events. The latter's lawyer described the sentence as “much too low” hoping that the prosecution will appeal. “A blow to National Education,” reacted Minister Anne Gennetet, while emotion and indignation shake the entire teaching community.
The “upset” principal
Guest of RMC this Wednesday morning, Bruno Bobkiewicz, general secretary of SNPDEN, the national union of management personnel of National Education, announced that his union, which has become a civil party, will appeal this judgment, as will the principal judged, as well as the prosecution. “It was confirmed to us yesterday (Tuesday),” he explains.
“The message sent is extremely bad, it is absolutely not acceptable,” he believes, hoping that this first judgment will be “corrected”.
The principal is “having a very bad time” during this period, according to him: “He is upset, as is the entire profession”, confides Bruno Bobkiewicz.
The bias: Lycée Ravel, the author of the threats sentenced to a fine – 20/11
“We have to burn this dog alive.”
The facts of this Ravel high school affair date back to February 28. The principal had an altercation with an adult student whom he asked to remove her veil within the school grounds.
The next day, several death threats were published online, including that of AA, the 27-year-old young man on trial in Paris, who wrote on his X account: “It's crazy. You have to burn him alive, this dog.”
