For his “son” and the other autistic children in his town, a mayor uses great means. Georgio Loiseau, 46, mayor of Poses (Your), is on a hunger strike to protest against the insufficient means granted to the education of children autistic, the city councilor told AFP on Tuesday. “A solution for my son is emerging, now I want to carry the voice of the invisible,” said Georgio Loiseau, 46, mayor of Poses (Eure) who began his hunger strike on Sunday.

The chosen one asks “that a solution be found for his son as well as for four other children in a real emergency situation. “His 12-year-old son arrives at the end of June at the end of the elementary course of a school that Georgio Loiseau himself created in 2017, for lack of space to accommodate his child. “I will be in hunger-strike until solutions are created for those who do not have them, ”warned the elected official on Friday in an interview with AFP. He “requests a calendar with real work sessions for the creation of reception places for autistic students”.

A structure specializing in a lack of places

The structure he created, initially an association, is now under the supervision of the state. “We received national education investigators who congratulated us. The National Education as well as the ARS (Regional Health Agency) have taken the hand “, for the direction and the financing of this UEEA (Unit of teaching in elementary autism) which welcomes today seven pupils.

He claims to have had to “raise 120,000 euros per year”, thanks to the Seine-Eure agglomeration and donations to finance four full-time positions, a specialist teacher, an accompanying person for students with disabilities (AESH) and two educators necessary for the development of children. “Our model has been taken up, duplicated, but there is a lack of places” especially for the rest of the course in college and high school.

Meeting with MPs

Georgio Loiseau wrote to the deputies and senators, presidents of the chambers, local elected officials as well as to Minister Darrieussecq but he regrets that “nothing is moving. The Dasen (academic direction of the national education services) however granted his son the “right to stay” in his school.

On Tuesday, wearing his tricolor scarf, he said he was “a little disappointed” when he left an exchange with the ARS, but he admitted that the departmental council “was very attentive. “They are aware of the difficulties of families. That being the case, I will not feed on their fine words,” he told an AFP correspondent. Wednesday Georgio Loiseau will meet deputies. He will then be received by Minister Darrieussecq. He posted a video on Facebook that reached some 30,000 views.
