Bally Bagayoko explained that his group abstained during the vote on a wish presented by the opposition elected officials from the Socialist, Environmentalists, and Citizens group at the municipal council. The text focused on the protection of girls and women against excision and female genital mutilation, as well as the adoption of a comprehensive law against sexist and sexual violence (SSV). He said that his group supported the fight against mutilations and reminded that nearly 500 patients received follow-up each year in the municipality. He also praised the work of the Women's House, Delafontaine Hospital, and various associations, and asked the State to strengthen the resources allocated for prevention and medical follow-up. According to Bally Bagayoko, the abstention concerned the request to quickly adopt the law on SSV. He indicated that the bill had been significantly amended in committee at the National Assembly the week of the municipal council, and its content remained uncertain. His group had asked to remove references to this law from the wish in order to be able to vote in favor of the text on the fight against excision, but the opposition had refused, he wrote. He believed that this refusal had hindered the pursuit of an agreement and denounced a political instrumentalization of the issue. The group ultimately abstained in order not to block the wish, which was adopted, while not supporting all of its content, he noted. #Excision #DroitsDesFemmes #LutteContreLesViolences (translated)

Didier Maïsto accused Emmanuel Macron of having confined a generation for months, closed high schools, and isolated teenagers, while he was going to the theater with his wife. He believed that these measures had contributed to the distress of young people and criticized the fact that their anger was treated as a public order issue. To support his statements, Maïsto cited figures he attributed to Public Health France and the National Suicide Observatory: nearly one in five high school students would have shown a significant risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in the past year, and 15% would have already attempted suicide. He also indicated that hospitalizations for self-inflicted injuries among young women aged 15 to 19 had reached 516 per 100,000 in 2023, an increase of nearly 50% since 2017, while the youth suicide rate is said to have increased by 40% between 2020 and 2022. According to him, more than half of students reported depressive symptoms during the second lockdown. Maïsto added that the deterioration of young people's mental health had started in the mid-2010s and that the lockdowns had accelerated it. He also mentioned isolation, academic pressure, Parcoursup, social media, and precarity, estimating that girls were particularly affected.
