Adrien Quatennens, deputy of the North condemned for violence against his ex-companion, was reinstated Tuesday in the LFI group in the Assembly, despite the opposition of some of the allies of Nupes, we learned from the group of rebels.
“There was a vote. The decision is to reinstate Adrien Quatennens,” said LFI deputy for Seine-Maritime, Alma Dufour. Sentenced in December to a four-month suspended prison sentence for “violence” on his wife, he was suspended on December 13 for a period of four months.
The LFI group “considers that the conditions for the reinstatement of Adrien Quatennens are met”, according to a press release. He had conditioned his return to the follow-up of an internship of accountability with feminist associations.
An internal “working group” has been appointed “to assess the conditions for the return of Adrien Quatennens” and it emerges from the exchanges with the latter that he is “engaged in an internship, in the process of being finalized, meeting the expected criteria” , the statement said.
The MP also said “to regret the media expressions he had following his conviction” and “acknowledges that some of his remarks had the effect, without his intention, of relativizing the gravity of the facts and to reverse the culpability between the author and the victim of violence”, continues the group.
Adrien Quatennens made his return to the National Assembly in mid-January, as a non-registered. Partners of the Nupes coalition considered that he should be definitively excluded from La France insoumise.
