Tuesday, February 14, Clémentine Autain was invited on the Daily set. Quickly questioned about this caseMP LFI-NUPES who had already spoken about it explained that there was “differences of approach” within the political group. Feminist and committed, she indicated that she did not share the same point of view than Jean-Luc Mélenchon or others close to the politician.
Clémentine Autain: “Our group has made a decision”.
About the recent speech of Adrien Quatennens, the MP said: “It is not easy. The scene we had in the hemicycle last week was indeed painful, because our group made a decision, which was to remove Adrien Quatennens from our group for four months“. Since this decision, the 32-year-old man sits as a non-registered in the National Assembly.
However, recent support brands towards Adrien Quatennens were not well received by several members of the LFI-NUPES group. “What was painful for me was to see members of our group, and not the least, surrounding Adrien and applauding him when it seemed to me that it was not what we had collectively decided“said Clémentine Autain. What show that she does not approve of the behavior of certain political figures.
