MP Renaissance speaks of “evenings where drugs are circulating” or “ends of parliamentary sessions where there is excessive alcohol consumption”.

Caroline Janvier is a member of the presidential party.

According to her, these “addictive practices” also concern ministers, subjected to “an unimaginable level of pressure”. Caroline Janvier says she interacts with some of them, “with empathy”. She does not want to “discredit” her peers: “The excesses are the symptom of excessive commitment. »
