French Prime Minister François Bayrou is facing intense scrutiny as he testifies before a parliamentary committee investigating decades of sexual abuse at a Catholic school in southwest France. Bayrou, who has personal and professional ties to the school, is accused by critics of concealing information about the abuse. The scandal has severely damaged his popularity and raised questions about his integrity and leadership. The inquiry is a major test for Bayrou, who has only been in office for five months. The outcome could have significant political repercussions for both Bayrou and the French government.
