A message against the right to abortion was written in red on the facade of the premises in Bordeaux. The association has filed a new complaint “for the offense of obstructing abortion”.
“These attacks are unacceptable and shocking.” For the second time in two weeks, theThe Gironde family planning was vandalized by a far-right group, the association announced on Thursday, February 23, in a press release. The latter filed a complaint “for the offense of obstructing abortion”, as the first time.
On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, “an inscription in red letters, targeting abortion, claimed by ‘Identity Direct Action’ and a Cross of Lorraine” were inscribed on the facade of our premises in Bordeaux, told AFP Annie Carraretto, co-president of Family Planning in the department. According to her, the previous message discovered on the storefront on February 8 “targeted him, the actions carried out in favor of male contraception”.
“Stand together in the face of these incessant attacks”
“If the registration differs, the message remains the same: our actions to defend sexual and reproductive rights are disturbing. But we will never be impressed by these methods or by these people. Attacking our storefront is also tempting to intimidate our audiences with ‘shocking’ actions”writes Family Planning.
These “attacks” are “the translation of an increasingly established and uninhibited extreme right in our territory, as evidenced by the large number of local elected representatives attached to the National Rally. They are also the expression of an anti-choice, anti- Abortion, strong anti-LGBT in our city of Bordeaux”says Family Planning. In order to “to stand together in the face of these incessant attacks”Iassociation calls for a support rally on March 1 at 5:30 p.m. in Bordeaux.
For his part, the mayor of the city, Pierre Hurmic, condemned “with the greatest firmness”on Twitter, this “unacceptable attack which demonstrates the decomplexion of these nauseating ideas”.
