In a column published in the daily The world Monday, December 26, more than a thousand rebels and Nupes activists denounce the decision of the movement to only temporarily exclude the deputy Adrien Quatennens from his parliamentary group when he was convicted of domestic violence. They call for harsher penalties for the deputy.
The collective of members of La France insoumise and Nupes signatories from this platform denounces Monday, December 26 decisions taken without “ transparency, nor democratic consultation while the feminist values advocated within LFI and the Common Future program are flouted.
A situation which, according to the signatory activists, would give rise to significant tensions within the movement but also in the Nupes alliance.
“ A fairer internal democracy »
In this forum, activists ask ” a fairer internal democracy where the representatives will be appointed and legitimized by the militants and not essentially by the inner circle of the national office “. A rise to the public and national niche that the initiators of this text consider inevitable because the settlement of this case internally has, according to them, not worked.
No truce for confectioners in this affair which continues to cause turbulence in the party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, of which Adrien Quatennens is one of the most faithful lieutenants.
For the moment, LFI’s regional action groups declare themselves only in ” militant strike “but do not cease all activity because the pension reform is in their sights.
