Adrien Quatennens, accused of domestic violence against his wife, will not participate in the activities of his political group in the Assembly until justice has rendered its decision, the LFI group announced in a press release on Wednesday evening. “We want the ongoing legal proceedings to continue to their conclusion. Once the court decision has been handed down, our group will collectively decide on the follow-up to be given within it”, explains the parliamentary group.
“Until then” the deputy from the North “will not participate in the activity of our parliamentary group”, he continues in a press release. Unveiled by the Canard Enchaîné, which had reported a handrail filed by Céline Quatennens, this case caused an earthquake in mid-September in La France insoumise. Adrien Quatennens, very close to Jean-Luc Mélenchon and one of the favorites to succeed him, stepped back from his post as political coordinator and has not appeared in the Assembly since.
Several elected officials call on Adrien Quatennens to step back
In a long press release on September 18, the 32-year-old elected official spoke in particular of “disputes” since his wife’s announcement of his desire to divorce, specifying that he had “grabbed his wrist” during one of them. . He also admitted to having “gave him a slap”, “a year ago”, “in a context of extreme tension and mutual aggression”.
This Wednesday, Céline Quatennens made new accusations against her husband. “I have suffered his anger, his crises, physical and moral violence for several years. In recent years, I have wanted a divorce three times, each time under pressure I have backtracked”, she said in a statement. Accusations that the interested party refutes.
At the microphone of Europe 1 this Wednesday, the deputy of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, estimated that La France Insoumise should “exclude” the elected representative of the North from his parliamentary group. “Standing back is necessary”, also judged the boss of the Communists Fabien Roussel while the Insoumise Raquel Garrido calls for “respecting the word of Céline Quatennens”, ensuring that “the parliamentary group had never said that a quick return” of the deputy to the hemicycle was needed.
