“He was convicted, the judge could have declared him ineligible, he did not do so, so he resumed his work as a deputy,” said the founder of LFI before leaving the BFM-TV set.

“Fuck him peace”, “He was quite punished”: Jean-Luc Mélenchon left the set of BFM-TV , Thursday evening February 10, furious, after a sequence on Adrien Quatennens, during which he defended the deputy, sentenced for violence on his ex-partner.
Accusing BFM-TV journalists of “taking an unhealthy pleasure in seeing a young MP suffer”, he criticized them “a sadistic enjoyment” to show the images of the deputy, hummed by deputies in the assembly on Tuesday evening , during his first intervention in the hemicycle since his conviction for domestic violence.

“What you are doing is morally repugnant, I regret having trusted you,” said the founder of rebellious France (LFI) after more than two hours of broadcast devoted to pension reform, saying that Journalists had wanted to “take it in default”.
“He was convicted, the judge could have declared him ineligible, he did not do so, so Adrien Quatennens resumed his work as a deputy after having lived a horrible moment, six months of bashing,” said Jean- Luc Mélenchon, in a cold anger.
“Divide the” rebellious “”
Adrien Quatennens was sentenced in December to four months suspended prison sentence by the Lille Criminal Court. It was suspended from the LFI deputies group until April.
“What are you waiting for? To kill him?” He asked journalists. He is away, he is among non-inscribed. His punishment is sufficient, in my opinion. (…) In four months, he will return to the group of “rebellious”, I think so. “
“He was quite punished, I was quite punished, all the” rebellious “were fairly punished,” he said, stressing that “any sentenced person has the right to be rehabilitated” .
“I ask you to think carefully about what you are doing about this man, you have just invented the endless pain, ineligibility in principle even if the judge does not have it Decided. What you hope is to find the means to divide the “rebellious” between them. Now, that’s enough, fuck her peace, let us go! “
