The Chamber of the Penas Application Informed the decision on the first instance on May 12, which suggested a penalty for the defense of Mr. Alessandri, 64, detained since 1999, but released since 2017. He had obtained His transfer from Poissy prison (Yvelines) to Borgo prison (Haute-Corse) in the spring with Alain Ferrandi, sentenced in the same file.
This spark ignited the hemicycle on Thursday afternoon, when the advisers were to examine a report on waste. They suspended their work. The independence leader of the Core in Fronte group, Paul-Félix Benedetti, immediately withdrew his participation in the discussions put in place with Place Beauvau in March, following the deadly assault by Yvan Colonna, on March 2 in The Arles power station (Bouches-du-Rhône), “as long as there is no clarification”.

She opted for a joint press release supposed to silence cacophony. “This decision is misunderstood and unfair, considers the text read by the president, Marie-Antoinette Maupertuis.
