While the first council of ministers of the Borne government was held on Monday, May 23 in the morning, the left is calling for the resignation of Damien Abad, Minister of Solidarity, accused of rape by two women.
The government of Elisabeth Borne returned to school on Monday morning 23 with the very first Council of Ministers. A council that really launches the second five-year term of Emmanuel Macron. But the accusations of rape against Damien Abad come to parasitize the image of the government at work. On the side of the left, we are asking for his departure. “The question is not his resignation, but that he be removed from office as a precautionary principle”calls for the ecologist and feminist Sandrine Rousseau.
Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party, is on the same line: “If I were Prime Minister, I would say to Damien Abad [que] I have no particular reason to think that women lie. Pending a court decision, I hope you are not in government.” Éric Zemmour advocates respect for the presumption of innocence.
