“Let’s ensure that victims can free their speech, be protected and defended in our rule of law“, all the same adds the deputy of Paris. “And at the same time, justice must protect the presumption of innocence.“Pierre-Yves Bournazel believes that”it is up to the President, the Prime Minister and the minister concerned to establish the inventory of the situation“, before a possible dismissal of Damien Abad.
Pierre-Yves Bournazel considers that this affair, which occurred two days after the appointment of the government, will not slow down the action of the executive. “We have an excellent Prime Minister who has set a course. I have every confidence in him to carry the files of ecological planning, social cohesion with a first bill on purchasing power, and economic efficiency.” He asks “Let her be judged by her actions” in “the coming weeks“.
