If a woman is affected by acts of violence within the National Rally, “We encourage him to file a complaint in court”, explains Wednesday, September 21 on franceinfo Jordan Bardella, RN MEP and candidate for the presidency of the National Rally. The acting president of the party was questioned on this subject while La France insoumise and EELV are shaken by cases of violence against women which implicate Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou.
For Jordan Bardella, “It’s a bit like the moral shipwreck of the left. It’s the ‘do as I say but not as I do’ left, which spends its time setting itself up as a model of virtue, as a righter of wrongs, to give lessons to the whole earth and who today finds himself caught up in such affairs”, adds this close friend of Marine Le Pen.
Regarding the establishment of listening cells capable of acting within parties in such cases, the RN MEP disagrees: “I don’t think it’s up to political parties to self-manage and take justice into their own hands. Political parties are not separate stars that govern themselves according to different laws.” Jordan Bardella sticks to his positions: “As president of the movement, if I have knowledge of such a testimony, I would encourage – with the greatest force – that this testimony is brought before justice and that the justice of our country does its job..”
“It’s not up to political parties or commissions that are organized by people close to each other – since everyone knows each other – to do themselves justice.”

And the candidate for the presidency of the RN continues by mentioning the first tweet posted by Jean-Luc Mélenchon in this affair: “Besides, what is very serious is the concealment of rebellious France. When a woman is attacked and Jean-Luc Mélenchon immediately supports the aggressor with the words ‘dignity, confidence, courage, affection’, it’s absolutely mind-blowing. These people spend their time defending, regardless of the case, the aggressors.”
In the case of the “Damien Abad or Gérald Darmanin” files, mentioned by Jordan Bardella, the candidate for the presidency of the National Rally declares that the left has “called for resignation even before there was an investigation and when we see that it concerns them on the left, there is no problem, people remain in office, they can remain co-president of the group. “
“What is indentation?”, he asks in reference to the decisions taken by the Nupes on the fate of Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou. “Does that mean that Mr. Quatennens will continue to benefit from his elected allowance but is not forced to go to work at the National Assembly? All of this is absolutely total hypocrisy.” And Jordan Bardella to conclude: “The left is tripping over the carpet. If there is domestic violence, it must be fought and brought to justice, it is in any case the philosophy that is ours at the RN.”
