Erwan Balanant, a member of the Mouvement démocrate (MoDem) and a deputy representing Finistère, has spoken out about the need to address violence against children. He says, "For too long, this violence has been hidden, it has been suppressed." As the rapporteur for the section on children in the comprehensive bill against sexist and sexual violence, Balanant is pushing for an annual interview with every student, from kindergarten through the age of majority, to give victims a voice and help identify cases of abuse. Balanant's proposal aims to create a system where children can safely report incidents and where authorities can respond more effectively. However, he has also highlighted a challenge in implementing this plan. He notes that currently, "we are not capable of training the 10,000 additional nurses we need by the start of the next school year." This shortage of trained professionals could hinder the effective rollout of the proposed measures. In addition to his work on the bill, Balanant has revisited his stance on the 2027 budget. He is emphasizing the need for greater fiscal and social justice, suggesting that more resources must be allocated to address these issues. His comments come amid growing concerns about the well-being of children and the capacity of the education system to support them. Balanant's position reflects a broader debate in France about how to balance budgetary constraints with the need for social protection and reform. His call for increased investment in both education and healthcare highlights the complexity of addressing systemic issues while ensuring that public resources are used effectively.
