La France insoumise says it is considering a possible return of the insoumis deputy who stepped back after acknowledging domestic violence against his wife. But according to the communist deputy, “it is up to oneself to step back”.
While the LFI group in the National Assembly recently mentioned a “reflection” on a possible return to the Palais Bourbon by Adrien Quatennens, Fabien Roussel estimates, Monday, November 14 on franceinfo, that the rebellious deputy cannot “come back” and “act as if it were forgotten. the former number 2 of insubordinate France swas withdrawn in mid-September after admitting violence against his wife, including a slap.
The national secretary of the PCF maintains that “it’s up to you to step back”. “It’s a matter of conscience that we must ask ourselves”, he adds. He does not see how a deputy accused of such acts “can intervene in the National Assembly on sexist and sexual violence”.
Fabien Roussel also regrets the attitude of LFI: “If such a case were to occur [au sein du PCF], we wouldn’t offer an MP who confessed to slapping the chance to come back.” He calls to “to have an exchange” on this Adrien Quatennens affair within the Nupes group. “I am thinking of all these women, of all these associations who are fighting not to minimize the blows”he adds.
