Exceptional guest of Punchline on Europe 1 this Wednesday, the deputy of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, returned to the conflict between Adrien Quatennens and his wife who accuses him of physical and psychological violence. She felt that the elected representative from the North should be excluded from the La France Insoumise group in the Assembly.
For Marine Le Pen, La France Insoumise must take its responsibilities in the Adrien Quatennens affair. The deputy of the National Rally estimated this Wednesday in punch line on Europe 1 that the party should “exclude” the elected representative from the North, accused of physical and moral violence by his companion, Céline. Allegations that the interested party refutes. A few weeks ago, however, he admitted having slapped his wife.
Insufficient according to Marine Le Pen who then considered that her colleague should submit his resignation himself. “Let’s represent himself in front of the voters and leave it to them to determine if he is still able to represent them,” she added while regretting that La France Insoumise had not taken a decision on this subject. “And it is once again particularly surprising from a group that gives moral lessons to the entire political class on the defense of women and on the violence that can be committed against them”, a- she judged at the microphone of Laurence Ferrari and Louis de Raguenel.
Marine Le Pen denounces LFI’s “parallel justice”
As such, she also reiterated her opposition to the words of Jean-Luc Mélenchon who had praised in a tweet the “courage” of Adrien Quatennens when the latter had confessed to having administered a slap to his companion. “That he can be touched when one of his friends commits such an act, I think every Frenchman can understand it. But not from there to evoke courage, sympathy and a whole series of terms which appear totally out of step in relation to the priority that La France Insoumise gives itself in the fight against violence against women”.
The finalist in the last presidential election finally harshly criticized what she considers to be a “parallel justice” exercised within La France Insoumise. She was referring here to the internal cell of the party against sexist and sexual violence. “A kind of private justice”, she castigated, judging that LFI aimed, by this means, to “weaken the integrity of institutions”. Marine Le Pen has also insisted on the need to seize “justice” at the expense of “other authorities, political or media”.
