“Vermins in black dresses”: call for the murder of certain lawyers, the president of Béziers threatened

All the presidents of France in support of threatened lawyers. Free Midday

"Vermin in black dress"… We're going through some more disgusting ones. This Thursday, June 4, the president of the Béziers lawyers' bar received a threatening letter published by a patriotic site. She has received many testimonials of support from colleagues and other presidents.

With this lightning legislative campaign, speech is being freed, it’s undeniable. The term unleashes would undoubtedly be more appropriate. But it doesn't really go in the direction that was expected. Well, yes, maybe… Whose fault is it?? Following the example shown by certain politicians? In the education of a segment of the population. ? We cannot say. In the meantime, when Me Aziza Batal-Grosclaude read at Midi libreof the passages in the mail she received on Thursday, July 4, it was chilling. Just enough to give a wreath. None of these most vile remarks will be transcribed here. Out of respect! How can we go this far ? How did we get here ?

Me Aziza Batal-Grosclaude was elected president last December with Sylvie Bar. In Béziers, she is known and recognized by the entire profession. Respected for her work, her person. Suffice to say that in Béziers, it is defended by the entire profession. It’s unanimous. "It’shameful, disgusting, sickening…" This is what emerges from the few phone calls made this Friday morning with his colleagues from Biterrois.

"The lawyer is scary, he is the guarantor of freedoms"

"The Béziers Bar condemns in the strongest terms the publication of a list of lawyers "to be eliminated" "vermin in black dresses", published by a patriots site, in the event of a victory for the RN. On this same site, which indicates that it is hosted in Russia, the president of the Béziers Bar Association was the victim of threats and racist remarks, further illustrating the seriousness of the situation", explains President Aziza Grosclaude. And she continues "The lawyer is scary because the lawyer is the guarantor of fundamental rights and freedoms, the bulwark against arbitrariness, he is therefore, in fact, the preferred target of the enemies of freedom and the rule of law."

Condemn the attacks against the profession

Faced with these threats, the lawyers of the Béziers bar reaffirm their commitment to defending the values ​​of the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms. They condemn the attacks against the profession and the call for the murder of lawyers, as part of the electoral campaign.

"We strongly denounce incitement to hatred, discrimination and the ideology of fear. They will remain faithful to their oath of dignity, humanity and independence."

An exhibition in the courthouse

It is good to remember that lawyers defend all litigants. It is also good to remember that in many countries these same lawyers are assassinated because they honor their oath of dignity. Me Aziza Batal-Grosclaude allowed us to see the faces of some of these martyrs killed in the name of nauseating ideologies because she is at the initiative of a photo exhibition which made it possible to put a face to the names of these lawyers eliminated for obscure reasons which did not suit the leaders of some countries. It was held in the heart of the Béziers courthouse. We do not know what consequences will be given to these threats from another time.
