“I will probably return in January when parliamentary work resumes.” A guest on BFMTV on Wednesday night, Adrien Quatennens, sentenced Tuesday to four months in jail for “violence” against his wife, said he will sit in the National Assembly “as soon as possible.”
As a result of his sentence, the LFI group in the Assembly decided to suspend the deputy from the North for a period of four months.
“I will respect the collective decision that has been taken in a democratic framework by my group, which is to ensure that I cannot sit on your bench for a period of four months,” he added.
The return of Adrien Quatennens to the LFI group is also conditional on “an accountability course on violence against women”.
“I was really sick”
Absent from the benches of the chamber since the beginning of the matter, Adrien Quatennens justified himself: “When I was on leave, I was really sick. I am no longer sick and my wish is to be able to resume the most normal course.” of life.”
“My intention is to return because they chose me in June […] I want to honor this mandate that has been entrusted to me,” he said.
