LFI deputy Adrien Quatennens, suspended from his parliamentary group after his four-month suspended prison sentence for “violence” against his wife, returned to the Assembly on Wednesday 11 January.
He hadn’t been there for months. Adrien Quatennens, LFI deputy suspended from his parliamentary group after his four-month suspended prison sentence for “violence” on his wife, returned to the National Assembly this Wednesday, January 11.
The MP attended a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee as a non-registered elected representative, and was seated alongside Tematai Le Gayic, elected from the first constituency of French Polynesia, on the same table as Clémentine Autain ( LFI) – whose gaze he could easily meet – and behind Carlos Martens Bilongo (LFI).
More than two hours late
According to video footage, he arrived during the second adjournment, more than two hours into the meeting.
As a reminder, the chosen one from the North will only be able to return to his group on April 13.
The case of Adrien Quatennens has particularly upset France Insoumise in recent months. Activists and party executives have been torn about his reinstatement, the former demanding his definitive departure, the latter wishing for his “temporary” exclusion.
