The ex-companion of Julien Bayou officially seized, Monday, October 3, the investigation unit of Europe Ecologie-Les Verts against violence against women and wishes to be heard “under certain conditions ensuring the security of the testimonies”, ensures his attorney in a statement.
The ex-girlfriend of Julien Bayou, who speaks for the first time on the merits of the case, says “constrained and forced by the media tempo that has been imposed on him lately in defiance of his mental health”. “She deplores a misogynistic, psychophobic and validist internal and external campaign, unworthy of people who call themselves progressives”continues the press release.
She seized the cell of EELV “to recover his word, word completely confiscated lately – mainly by men and their accomplices – in defiance of his existence”, adds the press release from Me Elodie Tuaillon-Hibon. Asked by AFP on the conditions that her client set to be heard by the cell, the lawyer did not wish to comment.
Julien Bayou resigned on September 26 from his post as national secretary of EELV after accusations of psychological violence against his ex-companion, which he disputes. No complaint has been lodged nor any judicial inquiry opened.
After an article by Release revealing on Friday that for three years, Julien Bayou had been living under the pressure of an informal feminist collective which reproached him for his conduct and investigated his relations with women, the management of EELV reaffirmed its confidence in the internal cell of the party.
