Description
A dozen people gather in front of the French Ministry of Justice, at the call of the Mouv'Enfants association, to protest against the refusal of the courts to open an investigation into the Abbé Pierre affair. They call for the statute of limitations to be extended and denounce the complicity of the Church and the Emmaüs charity in the affair. Clergyman Abbe Pierre was widely admired as a friend to the poverty-stricken and homeless when he died aged 94, but multiple allegations that he committed sexual abuse have shattered his saintly image and left the two charities he founded desperately trying to dissociate themselves from him.
