The president of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet announces, in Le Parisien on Monday, September 26, the launch of a management training for parliamentarians in order to better understand the relationship with their employees.
Questioned by readers on the efficiency of the anti-harassment listening unit set up in the assembly, M me Braun-Pivet admits that “a deputy can sometimes have any requirements vis-à-vis its employees who go beyond what is reasonable “. For her, “parliamentarians are not necessarily used to managing a team of collaborators, they do not necessarily anticipate that their mission is also subject to a lot of political, psychological tensions, with sometimes complicated working hours”.
This training will be supplemented by the help of a coach that the deputy can freely request if he judges advice in his management, specifies the president of the assembly.
“responsibility Personal “
Concerning the accusations of physical and psychological violence which intentionly aim for Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou, -two deputies of the new People’s Ecological and Social Popular Union (Nuts) -, M Braun -Pivet calls to personal responsibility.
“It is up to the deputies concerned to judge whether they can exercise their mandate and represent citizens with dignity”, she judges, while adding that “political groups can also decide if they do not accept within them a deputy accused of such behaviors “.
Recognizing having “slapped” his wife, Adrien Quatennens abandoned his function of coordinator of rebellious France, but remains for the moment deputy of the North. For his part, Julien Bayou, accused of moral harassment by an ex-partner, was withdrawn from the co-chair of the environmental group in the Assembly, but still sits as a deputy of Paris.
