Adrien Quatennens will soon find his way to the National Assembly.
"Probably from January
," he told BFMTV on Wednesday evening.
This, despite his four-month suspended prison sentence for domestic violence, and despite his four-month "
strikeout
" from the LFI group in the Assembly.
The Insoumis will therefore sit
“as a non-registered”
until April 13, 2023, the date on which he will be able to find the Melenchonist benches in the hemicycle.
Detailing his version once again, as he had already done extensively in
La Voix du Nord on
Tuesday, Adrien Quatennens also replied to the defamation complaint that Gérald Darmanin said he wanted to file against him.
In the regional daily, the LFI deputy had indeed declared that
“several concordant sources
(him)
say that
(the affair)
was directly orchestrated from the Ministry of the Interior”
.
Wanting to “
reframe things
”, the former number two of LFI explained that it was
“journalists who said that it came from there”
, but that he
“cannot affirm it”
.
“I am surprised that the Minister of the Interior has no better things to do than file a defamation complaint against me
,” scolded Adrien Quatennens.
"He was in a hurry to file a complaint against me but much less in a hurry to find out where the leaks against me came from"
, he insisted, recalling that the press had relayed the accusations
"in the minutes"
when his future -ex-wife had filed her first handrail.
And to add:
“I would like the Minister of the Interior to accompany me to find out who leaked it”
.
