She is one of the women who testified against Eric Coquerel. Sophie Tissier, a former close friend of the Left Party and figure of the “yellow vests”, announced Sunday, July 3, to have seized the committee in the morning follow-up against sexist and sexual violence by La France insoumise. “I don’t want to minimize the facts. It wasn’t a violent physical assault, but it was still inappropriate gestures.”she told franceinfo, confirming information from BFMTV.
In an article published Saturday by Mediapart (article subscribers)Sophie Tissier recounts having danced with Eric Coquerel at a party in 2014. She claims that he had “wandering hand all evening” and evokes “multiple text messages” on behalf of Eric Coquerel so that they return together. “He went far beyond the limits”she judges with franceinfo. Sophie Tissier had already testified anonymously in an article in the magazine chat published in 2018.
At the time, Sophie Tissier had explained did not wish to enter the LFI cell because “It wasn’t serious enough.” she estimated with Mediapart. “I saw that everyone was saying that the cell had not been seized, that it was only ‘we say’. So, since it is necessary to come to grasp, I grasp”she now justifies with franceinfo.
With Mediapart, Eric Coquerel simply recognizes a “flirt”. In a grandstand at Sunday newspaperpublished on Saturday evening, the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis evokes “unfounded rumors”. “I am making this forum to affirm that I have never exercised physical or psychological violence or coercion to obtain a report, which characterizes the gateway to criminal behavior in the field of gender-based and sexual violence”he wrote.
