the minister does not want to resign

For Damien Abad, it’s time for a response and an update. “JI repeat firmly, I have never raped a single woman in my life. You will understand that discussing these subjects publicly is extremely painful for me. From now on I devote myself to my mission as minister“, explained, Monday, May 23, the new Minister of Solidarity. No question therefore of resigning. “Should an innocent man resign?“, asks Damien Abad. “JI don’t believe“, he replies.

The minister’s response is not to Fiona Texeire’s taste. It was she who collected the testimony of one of the two alleged victims. “What Damien Abad has just said is somehow the contempt for the word of women“, she says. The Prime Minister tried to dodge the controversy in the afternoon. Elisabeth Borne did not comment on the affair which pollutes her first steps at Matignon.
