The days of Michel Dennemont, 72, are no longer in danger but when the police and firefighters of Avirons, Saint-Louis and Etang-Salé intervened at the home of Senator LREM, around 6 a.m. morning this Monday, the state of the parliamentarian was more than worrying.
All our thoughts are with our friend and colleague Michel Dennemont following the assault he suffered.
On behalf of @senateursRDPI, I send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.https: //t.co/9k91MJhXdb

The elected Reunionese was the victim of several stab wounds.
Seriously injured and suffering from severe hemorrhages, he was transferred to the emergency department of the CHU Nord.
According to La Première, media from Reunion, his prognosis is not engaged.
His son, alleged assailant, also injured in his flight
This attack would have occurred during a family dispute which degenerated.
The senator's 35-year-old son, armed with a knife, allegedly attacked his father violently.
After having struck him seven times in the arm, hand, back and abdomen, he allegedly tried to jump from a wall more than 5 m high to escape.
It is in this attempt to escape that the son - alleged aggressor - would in turn injured his legs.
Firefighters also picked him up and evacuated him to a hospital in the south of the island.
The companion of Michel Dennemont was also the victim of beatings during the dispute.
The gendarmes, who secured the senator's house, were trying on Monday to gather as much information as possible on this family conflict which degenerated into the blood.
