During his visit to the telephone reception platform for domestic violence, the Head of State attended an exchange where a policeman refused to accompany a woman in distress to her home. An investigation was opened for "failure".

Tuesday, just before the official opening of the Grenelle domestic violence, Emmanuel Macron had gone to the dedicated telephone reception platform, 39.19. He then attended an exchange between a woman in distress and a policeman.

The policeman, who was unaware that the president was attending the conversation, had refused to accompany the woman to her home on the grounds that, in his opinion, a "bailiff's order" had first been required. Europe 1 takes stock of the survey.

She had already lodged a complaint for violence and death threats

The complainant is now identified, as is the constable who refused to accompany her. He is a young volunteer assistant, inexperienced. The General Inspectorate of the National Gendarmerie (IGGN) will now seek to understand why and under what circumstances he opposed this refusal.

At the beginning of the year, however, this mother had already filed a complaint against her husband for spousal violence and death threats. The latter is convened by the delegate of the prosecutor in a few days.

The husband left the house, which is now empty

During the summer, this woman had already gone to the gendarmerie to request that she be escorted to her home to take her belongings to leave the marital home. The gendarmes had accompanied him, without incident, under the eyes of her husband.

Last Tuesday, it is again to be accompanied to her home that she returns to the gendarmerie. And according to our information, after the famous phone call to 39.19, she was finally escorted by another policeman who returned from patrol. But the husband was not there. He had already left the couple's house, now empty and put on sale.
