The Senate Votes on the Imprescriptibility of Sexual Crimes Against Minors
On 26 October 2026, a collective of organizations and personalities pleaded for the imprescriptibility of sexual assaults and crimes against minors, while the Senate was to examine the bill relating to childhood. The next day, the Senate began examining this text on child social aid, in a context where Marine Le Pen sought to capitalize on the subject. Minister Aurore Bergé defended on Public Sénat the imprescriptibility of crimes against minors. On 29 October, the Senate restored this imprescriptibility by 252 votes to 80, paving the way for final adoption.
