How to explain this particularly eventful comeback for the Nupes? Both because of unjustifiable individual behavior and dangerous collective political practice.
>> Violence against women: how are cases handled in the different parties in France?
The behaviors are those of the rebellious Adrien Quatennens who admitted having exercised violent acts on his wife spread over a year, which led his wife to file a handrail. Justice logically launched an investigation. Julien Bayou, he is accused of having harassed his ex-companion until he broke his “moral health“and push her to make a”attempted suicide”, according to Sandrine Rousseau. Julien Bayou disputes the facts.
The accusation is very serious and that is why the political practice of the Greens raises questions. However, the internal Greens cell responsible for violence against women has been dealing with this case since July. If Sandrine Rousseau had not been interviewed on television on Monday, Julien Bayou would still be co-president of the Vert group.

The ecologists and the rebels have created alert bodies to encourage women to speak out, that’s very good: the concern is that rather than going to court, they use it to wash their dirty laundry in family, a kind of private justice that is exercised far from the cameras, and above all far from justice itself. The Insoumis and the Greens are pleased to have suspended Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou quickly and on their own. It’s wrong. Without the work of journalists, nothing would have happened.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon has yet made journalists one of his favorite targets. On Sunday, by assuring Adrien Quatennens of his “support“and sound”affection“, the Insoumis leader still castigated the “media voyeurism“. Except this time it didn’t work out. By praising the “dignity” and the “courage” of his colt, he has done too much. For the first time, here is Jean-Luc Mélenchon challenged by his people. Still timidly, we saw it with a succession of awkward silences during an LFI press conference. But until then, at each of the leader’s excesses, the troops united to defend him. We saw it during the eventful search in the fall of 2018. LFI first, and then Nupes were built by and for Jean-Luc Mélenchon. If the faithful begin to challenge their pope’s dogma of infallibility, the rebellious church could quickly collapse. And the left enter a new era, that of the post-Mélenchon.
