The National Secretary of Europe Ecology-Les Verts was withdrawn from the group’s co-chairmanship in the National Assembly after suspicions of violence on his ex-partner.

The embarrassment was palpable this Tuesday, September 20 at the National Assembly. About fifteen deputies from La France Insoumise (LFI) had come to present the 12 texts provided for their parliamentary niche – the monthly session during which the agenda is fixed by opposition deputies, not by the government – of November 24 . But they had to face the questions concerning Adrien Quatennens, who recognized violence against his partner and questions concerning the attitude of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
After having made a low profile compared to “new phenomena” on which “we are not perfectly equipped”, Clémentine Autain mentioned another embarrassing case, out of LFI this time. “I hear Sandrine Rousseau say that she received the partner of Julien Bayou, opportunely launched the deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis. I do not know if this woman wants the whole of France.”
Twenty-four hours after France Insoumise, here are the environmentalists taken in turmoil. The former partner of the National Secretary of Europe Ecologie-les Verts (EELV) had made a report in the cell on gender-based and sexual violence (CVSS) of the party in July. The case, briefly revealed this summer by Le Figaro, might not have had a repercussions without the declarations made by Sandrine Rousseau on Monday in “C à vous”, on France 5. The eco-feminist deputy, who had received the A alleged victim, revealed that the latter had committed a suicide attempt. “I think there are behaviors that are likely to break the moral health of women,” said the deputy, without however evoking any particular violence.
“show how we must manage these questions -outer “
After the Quatennens case, the situation was untenable. Pending the conclusions of the investigation, Julien Bayou was “withdrawn from his functions” of co -president of the ecologist group in the National Assembly, the group’s office announced on Tuesday by press release. All day long, Julien Bayou occupied the conversations of his party, first in the National Assembly, during a group meeting, then in an executive office. In the middle of the afternoon, EELV decided to publish a press release, ensuring its mobilization “in the fight against violence against women”.
Rather than expanding on the case of the first secretary, the text has emphasized the investigation carried out by its cell, an “autonomous”, “transparent” and “independent” structure. A way to stand out from the LFI sexist violence committee, suspected of working in complete opacity.
