“We must pay attention to automatic ineligibility”, judge Clémentine Autain

“You have to be careful about automatic ineligibility”, declared this Wednesday on franceinfo the LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain, while the National Assembly rejected a Renaissance bill on Tuesday. She intended to impose a sentence of ineligibility on more perpetrators of violence, in particular domestic or intra-family, after the Adrien Quatennens case, the deputy convicted of domestic violence and suspended for four months by his group. Clémentine Autain, however known for her feminist fights, voted against the text. The member for Seine-Saint-Denis denounces “an initiative “little arms”. On the eve of International Women’s Rights Day, “we can see the political blow very well, I think feminism is better than that”, assures Clémentine Autain.

“Political opportunism has been denounced on this proposal and feminism deserves better”said MP LFI, who believes that “In the mind of Aurore Bergé and her family, there was the idea of ​​surfing on the Quatennens affair and, basically, of using this story to argue with us”.

“The debate that took place in committee was nevertheless unanimous enough to say that this law was neither done nor to be done”added Clementine Autain.

During the presidential campaign, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had nevertheless defended on a television set that it was necessary “a clean criminal record to be elected”but Clémentine Autain asserts that he had then “exceeded what was precisely written in the program”. For the Member of Parliament for Seine-Saint-Denis, “you have to be careful with the automatic ineligibility“. “For corruption cases, it is quite logical“, she specifies, because “When you are elected, you have to be irreproachable in this field.“But for the rest of the offences, “we potentially open a Pandora’s box”. “If, for political reasons, you mowed GMO fields, you are doomed. Can you no longer be elected?“, she asks.
