“I do not regret anything at all,” Sandrine Rousseau assured this Sunday about the Julien Bayou affair, on the set of France 3.
The deputy for Paris is under fire from critics after revealing a few weeks ago that the general secretary of the environmentalist party was the subject of complaints in particular for psychological violence against his former partner. Since Julien Bayou has resigned from his position as national secretary of the EELV, he retains his seat as a deputy.
“There was a lack of transparency. Because she accused herself left. I will continue,” she said.
“Since this case came out, my situation has become difficult. I am not going to let go even if my personal interests are against it,” said the deputy from Paris.
“No problem greeting him”
On the criticism from his party, he stressed: “Whatever I do, it could go wrong. My personal situation is not important. If I have to leave politics because I defended women, it will be an honor.”
Yesterday, Jérémie Crépel, interim co-secretary of the party, in his speech before the Federal Council, lambasted the deputy’s revelations. “I would like to remind you that the more you speak publicly about the investigations, the more difficult you make the unit’s mission, so I call on each and every one to speak only with extreme caution,” he added. .
While the deputies are waiting tomorrow at the Palais Bourbon for a debate on the war in Ukraine, Sandrine Rousseau stressed that “he would have no problem seeing” Julien Bayou in the seats of the Assembly.
“I have no problem greeting him and for him to sit on the benches of the Assembly as long as there are no conclusions from the investigation of the EELV’s internal cell.”
“The women talked to each other”
In addition, it supports the decision that the deputy no longer speak on behalf of the parliamentary group of environmentalists. “When you’re in the National Assembly, it’s always impressive to see women reluctant to speak up,” she said.
Regarding the article Release speaking of the surveillance of Julien Bayou for several years, he indicated that “it has nothing to do with being under surveillance. The article of Release it is fundamentally problematic. We are talking about being put under surveillance while the women have talked to each other to protect themselves.”
