The attitude of the rebellious leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon is "

an absolute shame

" in the case of deputy Adrien Quatennens, convicted of domestic violence, denounced this Saturday the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo.

"

Hearing someone who wants to be the leader of the left explain to us that it's a private subject and that you have to leave your boyfriend alone, it's thirty years of feminism on which we sit

", denounced the edile in an interview with readers of Le

Parisien

.

I no longer want a patriarchal system with the violence that it represents

”.

In September, while Adrien Quatennens had confessed to having slapped his wife and announced his withdrawal from the coordination of LFI, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had publicly supported him on Twitter.

Since then, the deputy from the North has been given a four-month suspended prison sentence and suspended until April from his group in the National Assembly.

He returned to the Palais Bourbon on Wednesday as a non-registered, sparking controversy even in the ranks of the Insoumis where some are calling for his definitive exclusion.

"A very dear friend"

Jean-Luc Mélenchon estimated Thursday that the deputy from the North, "

a very dear friend

", had been right to return, noting however that he was going to have to "

regain his stripes

".

For Anne Hidalgo, "

rebellious France is an undemocratic party (...) We will never be able to win again in the country if we line up behind this thought and this method

", estimated the mayor of Paris, which obtained 1.7% of the votes in the presidential election of 2022.

"

We must rebuild the PS by opening the doors and windows

," added Ms. Hidalgo, once again supporting Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, the mayor of Rouen, candidate for the head of the PS, facing the outgoing first secretary, pro - Nupes, Olivier Faure.
