“Withdrawn as long as it takes”, Adrien Quatennens will be absent from the Assembly for the start of the parliamentary term

by time news

End of a (false) suspense. The deputy Adrien Quatennens, withdrawn from La France insoumise after having recognized violence against his wife and who is now the subject of a complaint, will not “will” be at the National Assembly this Monday for the resumption of work in the hemicycle, indicated the leader of the Insoumis deputies Mathilde Panot.

“No, he won’t. Because he is in the process of managing the divorce so he will not be there”, she declared on LCI, answering a question on the participation of Adrien Quatennens in a debate on Ukraine and the Examination of a bill on unemployment insurance, on the menu Monday for the return of deputies.

“He is in the background, as long as it takes”

Mathilde Panot, on the other hand, did not indicate how long the absence of the deputy from the Palais-Bourbon would last. “He’s on the back burner for as long as it takes,” she said simply. “You understand that there is a human situation that must be managed in human time and not in media time,” she argued.

In the process of separation, Adrien Quatennens withdrew from his function as coordinator of La France Insoumise, after acknowledging violence against his wife. He notably admitted having “gave him a slap”, “a year ago”, “in a context of extreme tension and mutual aggressiveness”, claiming to have “deeply regretted this gesture”.

He is the subject of a preliminary investigation, opened by the Lille prosecutor’s office, after a first handrail filed by his wife, and revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné in mid-September. The MP’s wife, after filing a second handrail, finally filed a complaint against him in Lille last week.
