Questioned by his ex-companion, the boss of EELV will remain silent until a dedicated cell within the party gives its opinion.


Sandra Regol is formal.

The decision was made this (Tuesday) morning in a group meeting.

Julien Bayou will observe a period of silence and media reserve while the cell of our party makes its conclusions.

He does not definitively terminate his functions until the investigation has come to an end …

”, indicates the environmentalist deputy of Bas-Rhin and ex-number two of EELV.

And for good reason, according to information from France Info confirmed to

Figaro

, Julien Bayou would have withdrawn from the co-presidency of the environmental group in the National Assembly.

The boss of the Greens is in turmoil, especially since his colleague MP Sandrine Rousseau publicly relayed on Monday the accusations leveled against him for moral violence.

As of last July, an internal cell made up of twelve party executives would have seized or would have been seized - the versions clash - about moral violence emanating from Julien Bayou against his ex-companion, with whom he was as a couple for about three years.

Le Figaro

was then able to consult part of the exchanges between the elected representative of Paris and his former spouse, who attempted suicide.

The internal cell at EELV "searches for the truth" and "works at its own pace"

The procedure being the same for everyone, Julien Bayou was waiting this summer to be heard "

as soon as possible

" by the members of this commission, "

on what in no way constitutes sexist or sexual violence or inappropriate behavior towards anyone

" according to him.

Unfortunately,

he defended himself then,

a story that ends in suffering, and a break that is accompanied by thinly veiled threats against me and a form of instrumentalization that I can only regret

.”

In a press release published on Tuesday, EELV indicates that the cell "

works at its own pace and with the sole concern of finding the truth

"

.

The party adds that "

depending on the urgency and seriousness of the charges, (the cell) may decide on precautionary measures

"

.

The movement further specifies that an “

audit of the operation (of the cell) will be carried out in February 2023, after the decision of the Federal Council of February 2022

”.

How to ensure that this structure is “

autonomous, transparent, voluntary and independent of the party and its leaders

(sic).
