Violence in Paris afterschool programs: Anne Hidalgo speaks of "collective failure"
Questioned by a Senate investigation committee, the former Paris mayor acknowledged "dysfunctions" without assuming sole responsibility.
Anne Hidalgo was heard by senators on an investigation committee dedicated to the prevention and treatment of violence in the afterschool sector, according to Le Monde. The former Paris mayor addressed this parliamentary body tasked with examining the measures put in place to protect children in afterschool activities.
During her testimony, Ms. Hidalgo described the situation as a "collective failure," according to statements reported by the newspaper. She also acknowledged the existence of "dysfunctions" within the Paris system.
The former city official, however, refused to shoulder sole responsibility for these shortcomings, pointing instead to a broader issue involving, in her view, multiple actors.
The Senate investigation committee is continuing its work to assess the state of violence prevention and treatment policies in the afterschool sector nationwide.
