La France Insoumise will close its investigation and reinstate activist Taha Bouhafs, according to BFMTV. The 26-year-old had to withdraw from the race after the report of two women in May 2022.

One of the two accusers had finally withdrawn her testimony last March. "We welcome today this decision that we have been waiting for too long," his lawyers said in a statement. "I underestimated the power of this system when it wants to crush you," he lamented.
