After the revelations of violence by the rebel Adrien Quatennens, La France insoumise was torn apart. In the media, the party’s spokespersons get bogged down, amid condemnation and defense of rebel politics. The media treatment of the affair, in particular by the leader Mélenchon, raises more and more questions.
It is a case that never ends: that of Adrien Quatennens, the rebellious deputy who admitted slapping his wife. But ever since, it is the rebel France’s handling of the case that has raised questions. After Jean-Luc Mélenchon supported his colt, several rebels remained very ambiguous on the matter. Between the silence out of solidarity or the general malaise when it is necessary to condemn the words of their leader, since the beginning of the week the rebels accumulate blunders.
“You will regret your question”
To the point of pushing Jean-Luc Mélenchon to the limit. Last Thursday, exasperated by the umpteenth question from a reporter, the rebel leader stroked his cheek before proclaiming “you will regret your question”. But the latest controversy comes from Manuel Bompard. On CNews, he wanted the Marseille MP relativize the severity of a slap. “I try to put things in perspective, a slap is never acceptable, but it is not comparable to a man who beats his wife every day. A slap is not the same as a person who is accused of rape after drugging the people who do it. accuse “. he told the TV channel.
Words immediately condemned by the opposition. Isabelle Rome, Delegate Minister for Equality between women and men, says that these statements “damage the fight against violence against women”. Before Marlène Schiappa’s encore “Shut up now! Enough”, said the Secretary of State for Social and Solidarity Economy.
