The question divides the left.
After the new accusations of
“physical and moral”
violence for
“several years”
by Céline Quatennens against her husband on Wednesday, should the LFI deputy from the North resign?
“To date, we have not taken this axis
,” replied Clémentine Autain, invited on Sunday to the “Grand Jury RTL-LCI-
Le Figaro
”.
The Insoumise MP for Seine-Saint-Denis indicates that the LFI group will wait for the court decision scheduled for December 13 to
“clarify”
a possible new decision.
"Complicated to have a political response"
The elected official, who claims to be a feminist, has in the meantime wanted to recall that La France Insoumise has
"taken strong positions from the start of the affair"
, by withdrawing Adrien Quatennens from his role as national coordinator and "
no longer participates to parliamentary proceedings
.
“Angry
” at the reactions of LFI opponents on this subject, Clémentine Autain denounced
disguised
“political instrumentalization” against their movement.
"We have taken positions that others have not taken
," she retorted, taking the example of former minister Damien Abad, who again became a majority deputy despite accusations of rape.
L'Insoumise nevertheless admitted that it remains
"complicated to have a refined political response"
, regretting that the
"political movements"
have
"not worked hard enough to have fair and proportionate responses"
.
She once again proposed the constitution of a
"working group"
within the Nupes to write
"a charter"
against violence against women.
Pleading for a
"restorative justice"
with
"gradation in the sentences"
, Clémentine Autain nevertheless wanted to remind that it was not necessary to
"eliminate"
violent men but
"to make them change"
.
Faced with the lack of reaction from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who had for a time given the impression of defending his foal, the deputy of LFI affirmed that she did not want to be
"his spokesperson"
.
Adding simply:
“I believe that he has the intimate conviction that it is not a question of repeated violence”
.
“We are in a painful and difficult moment.
Adrien Quatennens is a good comrade.
There is affect.
We are necessarily bad to have one of our comrades in touch with this nature
, ”she finally admitted.
