In the close guard of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, figure in particular Adrien Quatennens. Considered one of his most loyal lieutenants, the 32-year-old politician has always been on the alert in political matters since he started his career at just 27, elected deputy in the first district of the North. Like his mentor, he shares a very controlled oral fluency which also earned him criticism, that of repeating too respectfully the word of the boss of La France insoumise. But there is not only politics in the life of Adrien Quatennens, candidate for the 1st constituency of the North with Nupes who has just been re-elected with 65.24% of the votes cast, against the candidate of the Modem invested by Together!, Vanessa Duhamel (34.76%).
In an interview for the magazine Society in 2017, Adrien Quatennens had indulged in a few secrets about his intimacy. At the bend of a sentence on his career and in particular the fact that he gave up his career after a BTS in management of commercial units, he then declared: “JI ran into teachers who were a little disappointed, but as soon as I had the opportunity to work to have the life I wanted with the one who became my wife, I did it.“
Adrien Quatennens is therefore a married man who is “fell in love with his wife very much“. His wife must however share it with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, for whom he does not hide his loyalty: “I can be blamed for a lot of things, including being a parrot, but I’ve never expressed anything I don’t believe in. In addition, I see that we often emphasize the effectiveness of our duo.”
And there is not only politics in the life of the early politician since he is also an experienced drummer, passionate about the music of Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine like one of his political opponents, Olivier Véran! “[Il] is also a big fan of Thiéfaine. So, once, in the Social Affairs Committee, before he became a minister, we had fun inserting quotes from our idol into our respective speeches.“, he confided in the pages of Paris Match.
