The French state "does not do enough" for women like Jacqueline Sauvage, symbol of domestic violence after her conviction for the murder of her violent husband, whose death was announced on Wednesday, said actress Muriel Robin on Europe 1.
“Jacqueline's suffering will not have served for nothing. On the other hand, the suffering of many others, more than 300 per year, is not heard ”, estimated the actress who had played Jacqueline Sauvage in a telefilm in 2018 on TF1, which had been a hit with audiences .
"We will continue to fight"
“There are plenty of Jacqueline Sauvage in France and around the world. We are not doing enough for them. Who will have these corpses on their conscience? We have made progress with the case of Jacqueline Sauvage, but at the same time we are moving backwards. We will continue to fight, ”added the comedian.
“We give billions to save the economy of our country, how can we not find a billion to fight domestic violence? I do not understand how we do not find them, ”she was further indignant. “I don't understand why the electronic bracelets against violent spouses are not in place. I am angry and sad ”.
A tribute on TF1
She said she had met Jacqueline Sauvage who, according to her, "had experienced her grace as a justice, a relief, a gift, but also as injustice for those who did not believe it". “When we called each other on the phone, I would ask her how she was. She replied: I am no longer afraid. It's good to get up in the morning and not be afraid ”.
