For weeks, the “rebellious”, Jean-Luc Mélenchon the first, were preparing the spirits on the return from Adrien Quatennens to the National Assembly. All imagined ways of making acceptable the arrival in the hemicycle of the Northern deputy, who himself recognized, in mid-September, violence on his wife.
All this shattered on Wednesday, November 23, on the speech of Céline Quatennens, who had clearly had no say in this rapid process of political rehabilitation. “It has been several years since I have been undergoing anger, crises, physical and moral violence, explained the young woman to the France-Presse agency. In recent years, I wanted divorce three times, Each time under pressure I went back “.

By the voice of the latter, Adrien Quatennens “denied absolutely”, Wednesday, the accusations of his wife.

By making her version of the facts heard, Céline Quatennens undermines the version of an isolated incident, keystone of the argument of “rebellious”. “A slap is not acceptable, but is not equal to a man who beats his wife every day,” said deputy LFI Manuel Bompard, September 23.
