The party deplores a “satisfactory situation for anyone”. The EELV cell dedicated to sexist and sexual violence (CVSS) “decided to close the file” Julien Bayou, accused by an ex-partner of psychological violence, failing to have “been able to carry out his investigation”, announced Wednesday the ecological party in a press release.

“The conditions for the application of the protocol could not be found and the initial hearing, the starting point of the investigation, could not take place”, justifies EELV, specifying that “nobody Others did not grasp the cell about Julien Bayou “. “Unable to carry out its investigation, the cell has decided to close this file,” notes the party in its press release.

The CVSS was autoisie in July 2022, after obtaining an email from the ex-partner of Mr. Bayou questioning him. To guarantee the serenity of its work, the structure had assumed its silence, and almost nothing had been filtered since.

Last September, the deputy had to withdraw his posts as national secretary of EELV and co-president of the group of environmental deputies during this internal instruction.

“We regret the difficult human consequences that this procedure and its media exposure may have”, concluded the press release.
