A case that shakes La France insoumise. Party coordinator Adrien Quatennens announced on Sunday that he was stepping back from his duties after the handrail filed by his companion. The Lille prosecutor’s office immediately opened an investigation when it was informed of the content of this statement. This is a procedure that is part of a proactive criminal policy for the treatment of domestic violence, which the Lille prosecutor’s office says it has implemented for many years.

Possible internal divisions?

In the event of filing of a handrail and when the facts appear to warrant it, the police services must contact the services of the public prosecutor for instructions. Céline and Adrien Quatennens say they learned “through lawyers” that the prosecution had taken up the facts.

This case rocks the Nupes. The withdrawal of the right arm of Jean-Luc Mélenchon compromises the hegemony of La France insoumise within the left-wing coalition. Without a natural leader to replace the seventy-year-old presidential candidate, this now opens the way to internal divisions to take the helm of LFI and whets the appetite of allied parties, socialists or ecologists, who would see themselves becoming the main standard bearers of Nupes.
