Benjamin Ammar, one of the spokespersons of the CGT, was suspended from all his national mandates after the filing of a complaint by an activist against him reveals The Parisian. A union statement was sent on February 28, 2022, announcing the suspension of a union leader from his duties after the complaint filed for rape, sexual assault, torture and acts of barbarism against him.
“This leader who, for six years, was always ready to carry the word of the CGT, in the face of any political opponent on TV sets, until very recently in the show Do not touch My TV ! by Cyril Hanouna“, precise The Parisian, to illustrate the media weight of this activist. According to information from the daily, the complaint – which would have been filed fairly recently – comes from a CGT activist from Val-de-Marne for facts that date back several months.
The person concerned disputes these accusations, which he describes as “infamous and ignominious“.”He is unaware of the content of the complaint, the tenor of the facts of which he is accused and who is at the origin of them, explained to Parisian this Monday his lawyer Me Jérôme Karsenti. He is like a blind man in a dark hallway.“claiming that his attacks are”the opposite of everything [qu’il a] always worn in [sa] life“, he wants to be heard by justice as soon as possible. On Twitter, he reacted on March 1: “I dispute with the greatest firmness the infamous accusations made against me and relayed by a press release from the CGT. I received no summons from the police and I asked my lawyers to contact them to be heard. I’m innocent and I’ll prove it.”
