A late but necessary mea culpa.

Aurélien Taché, former deputy for La République en Marche, sparked controversy last Thursday on CNEWS by finding

"quite astonishing"

that the bill against Islamist separatism

"mixes"

with

"polygamy"

.

"It is not for the State to know if people live in twos, threes or others ... Apart from religion, there are people who have different lifestyles"

, he said. , taking the example of the films

"of Honoré or of Truffaut"

where are put in scene

"of the trouples"

.

"Sometimes my words go beyond my thoughts"

The deputy backtracked this Monday morning on Europe 1.

“Sometimes my words go beyond my thoughts.

Polygamy is often linked to forced marriages, it is a form of obscurantism, ”

he admitted.

“The State must be very firm in saying that this type of practice has nothing to do with the laws of the Republic.

In the Republic, marriage is two people, ”

said Aurélien Taché.

The former macronist, however, asked not to make him

"false trial"

.

"I have always been, all my commitment proves it, on the side of women's rights"

, he said, recalling in particular the fights carried out in October by his new group "Ecology, Democracy, Solidarity" (EDS) to the Assembly.

The small formation had disappeared in the wake, lacking deputies.

“I was part of the last parliamentary group which has just extended the period for abortion.

I have proposed things so that homeless women are better taken into account.

I have signed the most progressive amendments on the PMA ”,

he wanted to recall.

Aurélien Taché, however, maintained his criticism of the bill on separatism.

"Me, my fear is that in the end, it provides very few answers in terms of terrorism and that, on the other hand, it could be exploited in a context of xenophobia

", he indicated.
