For the first time since his media withdrawal, Julien Bayou speaks.
Last October, the ecologist deputy was accused of psychological violence and resigned from his post as national secretary of Europe Écologie-Les Verts (EELV).
Since then, the party leadership has announced the closure of this file, while its body dedicated to gender-based and sexual violence claims not to have been able to "
complete its investigation
".
Invited on BFMTV, the ecologist affirms this February 15 that "
at the end of one, let's call it "investigation", there are no testimonies, no complaint, no handbook, no reporting of reprehensible facts : I am cleared and cleared
”.
The elected official says he is "
happy to be able to turn the page
" after "
serious and vague accusations
", and to "
focus fully on the work in the National Assembly
".
As for the internal cell of EELV, Julien Bayou claims to have addressed it "
ten times
" in order to "
be auditioned
" and to be able to "
defend himself and know the reality of the accusations made
".
“
In fact, there was none
”, hammered the elected representative of Paris, regretting a “
media frenzy and a form of instrumentalization
”.
“
All this took place against a backdrop of congresses and manoeuvres.

Assuring not to be in a logic of "
settlement of scores
", Julien Bayou believes that his "
feminism
" is that of "
equality between women and men
", which avoids "
drifts
" and "
excess
".
As for the co-presidency of the EELV group in the National Assembly, Julien Bayou believes that there "
is no reason
" to restore it.
