It is a return to the Catimini and by the small door that Adrien Quatennens made in the National Assembly, after his condemnation for domestic violence. The deputy elected under the banner of La France Insoumise (LFI), which now sits as not registered, participated, Wednesday, January 11, in a foreign affairs committee, as we could see by following his work. Its president, the deputy for MoDem Jean-Louis Bourlanges, also praised “the arrival in our commission of a new colleague, Mr. Quatennens”.
This return after three months of absence, without drum or trumpet, had not been announced. Monday, January 9, his lawyer Jade Dousselin, informed that “no date had been set”, but suggested that he was so imminent. Above all, he was to be the subject of communication. On Saturday January 7 and Sunday January 8, no “rebellious” deputy contacted by MO12345lemonde knew when Adrien Quatennens intended to return to the Palais-Bourbon. Some deputies were warned Wednesday in the process of the return of their colleague.
The Northern MP, sentenced to four months suspended prison sentence for “domestic violence”, and suspended for the same duration of the movement of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the parliamentary group, had announced, during an interview with BFM-TV, on December 14, that he would return “probably in January”.
This shock interview, during which the deputy justified his behavior towards his ex-partner, despite his conviction, had created discomfort within the members of LFI, who had just taken a sanction for their comrade . To the point that some, judging that by expressing themselves with BFM-TV he had prejudiced to combat against sexist and sexual violence, at the heart of the movement of the movement, now wish to increase the sanction inflicted by the party. For the moment, the debate has not been opened within rebellious France.
