The president of the 3F, withdrawn this Wednesday, apologized during the Comex and ensures that he did not harass young women during his mandate.
Member of the Comex of the FFF, Eric Borghini revealed how the extraordinary executive committee, which decided to withdraw Noël Le Graët at the head of the presidency, took place this Wednesday morning. “This meeting lasted because we got to the bottom of things. We started by listening to our president, who started the comex by telling us: ”I did nothing (in relation to the accusations of sexual harassment). I swear on your head to all that I did nothing. The audit report will be positive for me, there will be nothing against me.” Then he apologized to us for the comments made on Zinedine Zidane, which he does not think, aware of what represents for global French football Zinedine. He admitted that he had made an uncontrolled communication error. He sent a letter to Zinedine for an appointment. He apologized to him and to us.
Afterwards, we had a very frank discussion, a bit like in a family, where we say things to each other at certain times in life. We get together and we talk to each other in truth. We say things to each other with heart and fervor. At the end of the comex, the president understood perfectly that the status quo was impossible. We couldn’t finish this comex given the excitement, the state of public opinion and political expectations… He proposed to step back until the audit report is made public and studied. by the executive committee.

“If the audit report clears the president completely, I would like someone to explain to me why he would be forced to resign. Or he experienced criminal, ethical or disciplinary wrongdoing, and at that time he told us he would resign. In the name of what would he leave office if he was cleared? This report will be the arbiter. Everything will depend on the conclusions of this report.
