Sandrine Rousseau points the finger at the boss of her party. The MP and finalist in the environmental primary reported Monday on France 5 having received at her home a woman accusing the national secretary of EELV Julien Bayou of “behavior likely to break the moral health of women”.
Asked about the deputy for Paris, in an issue of the show C à vous devoted in part to domestic violence confessed to by LFI deputy Adrien Quatennens on Sunday, Sandrine Rousseau replied: “I received a very long ex-girlfriend of Julien Bayou […] They are obviously several, I only heard one testimony.

The eco-feminist said: “When I received this woman, she was in a very depressed state, she was very badly, she also attempted suicide a few weeks later”. “It’s one of the questions that will come on the table” at the party, added Sandrine Rousseau.
Asked whether she thought Julien Bayou needed to step back like Adrien Quatennens has just done at LFI, she replied: “We will see, step by step (“everything in its time”). »
