On the eve of the return to parliament, the Quatennens and Bayou cases fall to the worst for the Nupes. Will the efforts of recent months to project an image of unity withstand the pressure? Point.
Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou, two embarrassing affairs for Nupes, on the eve of the start of the National Assembly. On a market in Lille (Nord), Sunday, October 2, the mere mention of the name of Adrien Quatennens seems to annoy activists from rebellious France. Suspected of domestic violence, the deputy is targeted by a new handrail from his wife, this time for harassment by SMS. “I think that when you represent a nation, you have no right to do things like that”, says an activist. According to information from France Télévisions, Adrien Quatennens will not be in the hemicycle on Monday October 3.
For his part, the deputy of the Somme François Ruffin asked for a time of appeasement. “I don’t think it’s there, in the rush, when there’s a fire, that we have to decide whether a man should give up public life for good or not”, he said on RTL. On the side of the Greens, we would also like to turn the page of business. Not for now: an article published in Liberation reveals that Julien Bayou would have lived for several months under the surveillance of feminist activists. The national secretary of EELV resigned on September 26 following the remarks of Sandrine Rousseau, who had revealed her report for psychological violence to the internal cell of the party.
