Dominique Anglade referred to his parents who died in the earthquake in Haiti to demand the truth on behalf of the relatives of people who died in CHSLDs during the first wave of the pandemic.
She was taking stock of the parliamentary session on Thursday morning when a journalist asked her if she would have considered suing the government if her own parents had died in a CHSLD.
Madame Anglade’s face has changed.
Taken with emotion, she recounted the day she received a six-page report that explained the circumstances surrounding the death of her parents in Haiti.
“I did not have the courage to read them, I gave them to my husband and afterwards he said to me: ‘Here is what you will find in this report, you can read it now” “, he said. -she related.
“Reading that report enabled me to close a loop. It allowed me to say: “I understood what happened and I am more at peace with what my parents went through”. “
She went on to say that she could put herself in the shoes of the relatives of the elderly who died in CHSLDs. “They too would like to know what happened, how their mother, their father, their grandmother […] left. “
Ms Anglade added that she was not sure if she would have sued the government, but that she certainly would have needed “truth”, which families do not have today, she said.
