Any establishment in the network is obliged to grant protection to the chairman, treasurer, the elected representative deputising for them or having received a delegation from them or a former elected representative who has left these functions, when the person in question is the subject of criminal proceedings in connection with acts not having the character of misconduct detachable from the exercise of his functions.
This protection is also due as a result of violence, threats or insults of which the same persons may be victims during or as a result of their duties and includes the obligation to compensate, where appropriate, the resulting damage.
The establishment is subrogated to the rights of the victim to obtain from the perpetrators of these offences the restitution of sums paid to the elected official or former elected official concerned.
