Daniel Féret, founder of the National Front in Belgium, former European deputy, was sentenced to one year in prison, in Béziers, in July 2023, for the sexual assault of one of his patients, in Agde. He was removed from the national order of doctors by judgment of June 13.

A year ago, Doctor Daniel Féret, a graduate in Belgium, working at the Hellènes medical center in Agde, was sentenced to one year in prison and banned from practicing medicine. He was prosecuted for acts of sexual assault after a complaint filed in 2014. One of his patients was seen palpating the breasts and the top of the pubis when she came to consult for pain. throats. During the judgment, before the Béziers court, this 80-year-old individual was also registered in the national sex offender file.

"I’will go to practice elsewhere !"

He appealed the judgment, which allowed him to continue his activity despite his conviction in the Agathois medical center. He declared himself innocent following the hearing in July 2023.

"I’I’m fed up with this country and I’m going to go practice in another country. I have been practicing medicine for 56 years and I am being dragged through the mud. I can no longer practice medicine in a country where you cannot touch people. This is what I learned in college. We examine, touch and treat.

The national disciplinary chamber of the order of doctors has just banned him from practicing his profession in France. The judgment was made public on June 13. The removal, subject to appeal, from the roll of the Order of Physicians of Occitanie pronounced on March 21, 2022, was therefore retained nationally. It will take effect on September 1, 2024.

Creator of the National Front in Belgium

Since the start of this affair, ten years have passed and two other victims have declared themselves against this Belgian, former MEP and creator of the National Front in his country. He could therefore find himself before the French courts facing the two other plaintiffs.

"I'm relieved"

"I am relieved, entrusted us with his victim. He was convicted and continued to practice his job. People could potentially be threatened. It reassures me to know that he will no longer be able to be a doctor. I came for a sore throat, he ordered me to have a gynecological exam."
