He was one of the “bad apples” of the National Group during the last legislative elections. He is now an “unregistered” MP, forced to explain his racist comments to “put an end to the controversies”. Definitely excluded from the RN group on Friday, October 18, Daniel Grenon sought to close the sequence in a press release this Wednesday, October 23.
“My words were misinterpreted, creating misunderstandings that I sincerely regret,” says Daniel Grenon, ensuring that his “intention was never to divide, but rather to open a frank and transparent debate on issues that directly concern our daily lives.”
“Democracy requires that we be able to exchange freely, even on sensitive issues,” he adds, while racism it’s a crime and not an opinion.
His racist statement – “The North Africans have come to power. These people have no place in high places” – to the Republican Yonne during the period between the two rounds of the last legislative elections was confirmed by the newspaper, which recorded the exchange with the elected official.
“I have confidence in justice”
Harassed by three complaints, according to Yonne Républicaine, Daniel Grenon asks that “the presumption of innocence” be respected, attacking his adversaries who “establish themselves as judges.” “I have confidence in our country’s justice system and remain convinced that it will issue its verdict recognizing that my comments are in no way reprehensible,” he wrote.
Seeking to reassure his voters, he also assures that “(his) exclusion does not call into question (his) determination to defend the interests of (his) electorate in the National Assembly.”
In any case, this does not prevent you from working with the registered nurse. One of its amendments to the state budget for 2025 was adopted this Wednesday afternoon, before the far-right party hailed a “victory,” according to a Libération journalist.
