Could Adrien Quatennens return to the National Assembly? “In our group […] Nobody considers that any return hypothesis is impossible, ”replies Manuel Bompard on France Inter this Monday.
His colleague, whom he will soon replace as head of the coordination of La France insoumise (LFI), is summoned this Tuesday before the Lille court to appear after admitting guilt.
“I discussed it with Olivier Faure”
At the end of November, while the rebels were working on the return of the Northern deputy, the latter’s wife, Céline Quatennens, intervened in the public debate. She denounced to AFP “anger”, “crisis” and “physical and moral violence” on the part of Adrien Quatennens for “several years”, refuting any “context of mutual aggressiveness”. And thus disrupting the version defended by her husband and her relatives. For his part, the elected representative of the North denied these new accusations.
Even so, some deputies of the Nupes opposed the hypothesis of a return after the statements of Céline Quatennens. Among them, Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), or Sandrine Rousseau, ecologist deputy from Paris.
“I discussed it with Olivier Faure […] his position, as far as I know, was to say that no return was possible before any judicial decision, “replied Manuel Bompard about France Inter.
‘Not sentenced for life’
In any case, “Adrien Quatennens will be sentenced”, advances the Bouches-du-Rhône deputy but, according to him, the “question that arises is the scope of this sentence, the facts that will be withheld”. by the prosecutor and the judge.
In line with his previous interventions, the rebel strategist says he is “attached to a principle of gradation.” “The facts, the sanctions, are not the same regardless of the acts that are reproached, although all the acts are reprehensible,” he defends. And add: “When someone makes a mistake, a mistake, they are sentenced for that, they are not sentenced for life.”
