Ms. Regol also confirmed that it is co-president Cyrielle Chatelain who "goes alone, instead of going in pairs" to Matignon on Wednesday for an interview with Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne.

Tuesday evening, after hours of hesitation, the office of the environmental group in the Assembly decided to suspend Julien Bayou from his duties as co-president.

The pressure was becoming too strong, 24 hours after the accusations of "behaviour likely to break the moral health of women" by EELV deputy Sandrine Rousseau, formulated on a television set.

The former primary finalist said that she had "received for a long time" at her home a "very depressed" ex-companion from Mr. Bayou.

The eco-feminist assured that “they are obviously several” to be affected by these behaviors, referring to an “ongoing journalistic investigation”.
