After the accusations of rape concerning Damien Abad, the malaise is real within the political class. The reactions are numerous Sunday, May 22.

It is a case which the Prime Minister would have done well, that of the accusation of rape by Damien Abad, newly appointed Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and People with Disabilities. Before the appointments of ministers, the profiles were however scrutinized. Information would not have reached Matignon, that of a woman who claims to be the victim of rape, addressed in mid-May to the management of the Republicans and the Republic. “Of course, I was not aware. I will be very clear on all these subjects of harassment, sexual assault, there can be no impunity”said the Prime Minister.

The rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon compared the situation of Damien Abad to that of Taha Bouhafs, recently dismissed from the legislative elections by LFI after accusations of harassment and sexual violence. The number 1 of Europe Ecology-The Greens Julien Bayou is surprised that Damien Abad could have been appointed minister.
