INTERVIEW
Vincent Lambert's family is torn apart. On the one hand, the parents of this man, in a vegetative state for ten years following a road accident, strongly oppose the cessation of care. On the other hand, Vincent Lambert's nephew and brothers and sisters are campaigning to end what they consider to be a "therapeutic relentlessness". While the Paris Court of Appeal ordered Monday night the resumption of treatment Vincent Lambert, interrupted that morning, François Lambert, his nephew, does not hide his disappointment. "It was the first since the beginning of the case that I was convinced that it was going to end," he told Nikos Aliagas' microphone on Europe 1.
Above all, he deplores the "scenes of delirious jubilation" caused by this decision on the side of his grandparents: "This is not the World Cup!" He believes that he is facing "people who have absolutely no respect for what Vincent wanted for himself". "The pain of Vincent's parents, personally, I do not believe it anymore," he finally said. "It's militancy that has taken over for many years, they are in absolute denial ... (...) They have been anti-abortion since 40 and they are in the continuity of this fight with Vincent."
