French Prime Minister François Bayrou denied any involvement in covering up abuse at a Catholic school, claiming he was unaware of the allegations. The parliamentary commission is investigating his knowledge of the claims, which involve over 200 complaints of abuse from the 1970s to 1990s. Bayrou criticized the commission's objectivity and rejected accusations from former teacher Françoise Gullung. However, his statements were contradicted by witnesses, including former judge Christian Mirande. The scandal has harmed Bayrou's credibility, with many calling for his resignation if he is found to have known about the abuse.
