Was Julien Bayou the perpetrator of the violence against his former partner? A tweet from the feminist association NousToutes set fire to gunpowder on Monday. “Hello Europe Ecology the Greens, the VSS cell (sexist and sexual violence, editor’s note) was seized after the accusations of violence committed by Julien Bayou on his ex-partner”, it can be read, at first. WeAll then asks these questions:
“How do we make sure the activists are safe? It doesn’t look like any action has been taken, why?”
Later that night, Sandrine Rousseau was questioned about the national secretary of the Greens. “I received Julien Bayou’s ex-girlfriend at home for a long time,” the environmentalist deputy first explained in France 5before evoking “behavior likely to undermine the moral health of women.”
“Obviously there are several, I only heard one testimony. It seems that there is a journalistic investigation in progress”, also specified the finalist of the primary of the ecologists.
“Suicide attempt”
About Julien Bayou’s ex-girlfriend, Sandrine Rousseau indicated that at the time of their exchange, she “was really very bad [et] depressed”.
“She also tried to commit suicide a few weeks later,” added the ecofeminist.
Within Europe Ecology the Greens, “this is one of the issues that will be put on the table”, according to her.
The leader of the Greens had confirmed to the Figaro last July, the taking of the internal commission against him, causing a “painful and difficult break” with his former partner. He then indicated that he would be “questioned as soon as possible about what in any way constitutes sexist or sexual violence or inappropriate conduct towards anyone.”
“Form of instrumentation”
Julien Bayou had also evoked “a resentment that he does not hide since he clearly wrote to me, three days after taking EELV’s internal commission: ‘Worry. I will return and in force. (…) The fall will be painful'” .
“Unfortunately, this is a story that ends in pain, and a break that comes with thinly veiled threats against me and a form of instrumentalization that I can only deplore,” added the deputy from Paris.
This Sunday, Northern deputy Adrien Quatennens announced that he was “removed” from his duties as coordinator of France Insubordinate (LFI) after his wife filed a complaint against him for domestic violence. What to do with the head of the Greens? “We’ll see, step by step,” replied Sandrine Rousseau on France 5 while she remains to clarify the nature of the facts that Julien Bayou is accused of.
