“The first objective is to send a message to the whole of society. Everyone in society must fight against these tragedies. The question is not to find the culprit downstream and condemn him, it is is to do prevention upstream “, for example “with personnel who are trained in detection”, he assures, taking the example of teachers or administrative staff.

“In the school world, we lack nurses and we lack psychologists.”

“We could vote, before the end of the legislature, concludes Patrick Mignola, therefore before the end of February, a law on school bullying. It would be a good way to end this legislature by putting it under the sign of youth and success. Jean Castex, with whom I spoke about it last week, gave me his agreement so that the government supports this proposal if we table it. “
