Julien Bayou, accused of psychological violence by an ex-companion, is “withdrawn from his duties” as co-president of the environmental group in the National Assembly, the group’s office announced on Tuesday in a press release, pending the conclusions of an internal investigation.
“The environmental group takes women’s voices and the subject of violence against women very seriously,” say the environmentalists. This “withdrawal” “is not worth resignation” and was decided “without predicting the conclusions of this affair and to ensure the serenity of the return to parliament”, they add.
