“He will continue to sit. He is stepping back so that the commission in charge of sexual and gender-based violence can work”, specifies the deputy who is also treasurer of the environmental group in the National Assembly. According to him, “it would be regrettable if Julien Bayou draws definitive conclusions even though we do not yet have the final conclusions of the commission”.
Regarding the time taken by the commission, seized this summer by the ex-companion of the environmental leader, “This commission must do its job as quickly as possible”believes Aurélien Tache. “In the meantime, within the parliamentary group, the responsibilities have been taken since Julien Bayou is stepping back.”
