The LFI deputy from the North was reinstated in the La France insoumise group in the National Assembly after four months of suspension following his convictions for violence against his ex-wife. The other Nupes parties denounce this decision.
Four months after his exclusion, the LFI deputy Adrien Quatennens, sentenced for violence against his ex-wife, will rejoin the group of rebellious parliamentarians, at the decision of the LFI parliamentarians, without consulting the other parties of the NUPES. This decision creates tensions in the left group.
Being reinstated without legitimacy
Finally, the rebellious deputies line up behind the will of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and adopt the return of his protege. Internally, a core of elected officials close to feminist movements have expressed their dissatisfaction. No rebel dares to speak. This decision is particularly unpopular. “We can clearly see that we missed a march which is an essential march for the fight of women. So now he will be reinstated. It is the decision of LFI, I am not commenting on it, but he will be reinstated without legitimacy “, justifies the ecologist Sandrine Rousseau.
“Shame”
For their part, the Socialists denounce in a violent press release “a political fault”. “The very shame”, adds the PS mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo. Ditto among the Communists, mad with rage at this decision.
In reality, the Adrien Quatennens affair seems to be the ideal alibi for the other left-wing parties to hit Jean-Luc Mélenchon once again, while the rebellious former leader hopes to return to center stage thanks to the reform of the retreats.
