Toulouse: victim of repeated attacks, the hellish daily life of a single mother
In 2019, Patricia leaves her accommodation in the city of Bagatelle to settle, more quietly, at the Pont des Demoiselles. Two months later, his ordeal began.
A rise in crescendo violence. When she put down her suitcases in 2019 with her two children, rue Georges Labit, in the “chic” district of Pont des Demoiselles, Patricia was fleeing the tumultuous city of Bagatelle in Toulouse. In her new residence, La Toulousaine hoped to find calm and serenity. For two months, the 40-year-old leads a peaceful life in one of these three-story buildings.
Some neighbors welcome him. But one day, a question throws a chill. “Where are you from?” Asks another resident. In the days following her response, Patricia felt “that certain neighbors were putting on insistent glances”.
One morning, while she was cleaning, Patricia put down garbage bags in front of the landing, the time to mop. A few minutes later, the single mother found them ripped open in the entrance hall of the building.
Accelerating violence
If Patricia this sad isolated event, her grief has not eased over the weeks. On the contrary. La Toulousaine found a tag on her front door a few days later. “Dirty Romans” was written in large letters. “If we hide their pitiful level of culture, it’s a racist message. I’m not even from the Roma community… ”she denounces.
Her cat was poisoned according to her vet. Several times in recent months, his car has been damaged. The mother of the family was thrown twice while she was on her balcony.
But this series of attacks remains a mystery for the resident of rue Georges Labit. One or more aggressors, where they come from, why they act, these questions remain unanswered.
Complaints and possible transfer
Patricia has a ball in her stomach at each of her outings. Walking the dog is a daily challenge. Feeling in danger, she filed a complaint several times, without further action for the moment.
Patricia filed a transfer request with her landlord, Toulouse Métropole Habitat. The lessor lets it be known that the possibilities are being explored. The situation becomes urgent for the Toulousaine, she fears for her life and those of her two children.
