Adrien Quatennens, Danièle Obono and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, June 27, 2017 at the Invalides.
QUATENNENS CASE – Just a point of clarification, without “minimize”. Eight days after the revelations of Chained Duck on violence, including a slap, committed by Adrien Quatennens towards his wife then the much criticized message of support from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, pressure and criticism do not fall on La France Insoumise (LFI).
Danièle Obono, one of the elected members of the party, tried to cut short the criticisms and the trial for disconnection aimed at her group: “A slap is violence”she wrote at the beginning of a message posted this Thursday, September 22 on social networks. “Dozens, hundreds, thousands of women. Your sisters, mothers, friends, comrades, colleagues, the person sitting right next to you in the subway suffer this violence. They are the victims.”she adds.
” Spread the message “
“Your friends, fathers, lovers, brothers are committing this violence. They are neither monsters nor saints.she continues. “These are violent men because crossed by this violence (…) It is not doing anyone a favor, neither to the victims, nor to the movement, even less to those implicated, than to minimize them”she concludes, asking party activists to ” transmit the message “.
Rebellious and rebellious, get the message across. Let’s not give up!✊🏾♀️ https://t.co/EWRNcEToZr

Should we see a public criticism against the leader of the movement, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who seemed (still) to assume his message this Thursday before the National Assembly? “Sir, I weigh my words all the time, you are the one who regrets what you are telling me”he says, patting the cheek of the journalist, who operates a movement of recoil.
Since his tweets during the “Quatennens affair”, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had not spoken. He did this morning… https://t.co/CZVjMY0Z4k

“No questioning but consistent with what I have already said and what Jean-Luc Mélenchon also said: a slap is unacceptable”she replied to a journalist from the World who saw in this new message “a questioning, in subtext, of the words of Jean-Luc Mélenchon”.

On Sunday, the former presidential candidate had denounced “Police malice, media voyeurism, social networks”welcoming on the other hand the ” dignity “ and the ” courage “ by Adrian Quatennens. Before trying to correct the situation in a second tweet: “A slap is unacceptable in any case. Adrian accepts it. It’s good “.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon will be able to explain himself a little more on Saturday evening on France 2 where he will be one of the guests of the new program by Léa Salamé, broadcast from 11:10 p.m. and entitled What an era!.
