LIVE – Adrien Quatennens’ lawyer believes that the sentence is “a solemn warning”

The ecofeminist calls on Adrien Quatennens to resign from his mandate in the National Assembly.

“A deputy convicted of domestic violence cannot sit. He must resign. Out of respect for women, for our fights and the values ​​that we defend”, tweeted Sandrine Rousseau at the start of the afternoon.

Environmentalist Senator Mélanie Vogel calls on Adrien Quatennens to resign.

“If he does not want to send a catastrophic message to all women victims of violence and to all those who engage in movements that call themselves feminists, Adrien Quatennens must resign,” she wrote on Twitter.

Sébastien Chenu reacted to the microphone of BFMTV to the condemnation of Adrien Quatennens.

For the RN vice-president of the National Assembly, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party has “the Jonathann Daval syndrome: it is the one who shouts the loudest who has the most to blame himself for”.

For the lawyer of Adrien Quatennens is a “solemn warning”.

“This is a solemn warning for a man who we know will not return to justice,” said Me Jade Dousselin.

The lawyer recalled the facts for which the deputy was convicted: a slap given “a year ago”, “in an extremely tense context” and which never “recurred”. Repeated text messages but “which have no harassing, malicious or threatening character”, according to the homologating judge, were also retained.

“This sentence does not prevent him from being able to rejoin the National Assembly”, specifies Me Dousselin.

“Justice has passed, it’s a good thing”, reacts Patrick Proisy, the LFI mayor of a small town in the constituency of Adrien Quatennens.

“He has to come back, we have a lot of things on the grill, in particular the pension reform, we need him on this pension reform”, continues the mayor of Faches Thumesnil, who considers that “Adrien Quatennens n is not a violent person”.

After the 4-month suspended prison sentence, Raphaëlle Rémy-Leleu, municipal councilor EELV of Paris spoke.

“Our demand for exemplarity cannot stop at sexist and sexual violence,” she tweeted, relaying the hashtag #QuatennensDemission.

Adrien Quatennens sentenced to 4 months suspended sentence for having slapped his wife Céline with whom he is in the process of divorce.

The deputy faced up to two years in prison suspended for “violence on spouse” and malicious SMS.

The homologation hearing of the sentence accepted by Adrien Quatennens will begin. It is chaired by a judge who will approve the sentence proposed by the Public Prosecutor of Lille.

The ex-wife of the deputy is present in the room.

Adrien Quatennens, tried for “violence on a spouse, having caused no ITT” and for sending malicious SMS, appeared tired and emaciated, swimming in his coat. He stands in front of the judge standing alongside his lawyer.

Me Jade Dousselin requested the closed session in order to preserve the serenity of the debates. Request accepted.

The public and the press therefore had to leave the room.

It was to the one who made his voice heard the loudest before the Lille court. Supporters of La France insoumise had gathered to support Adrien Quatennens. Facing them, members of the We All collective demanded the resignation of the deputy.

The Insoumis admitted to having slapped his wife, in the context of a tense divorce.

“Adrien Quatennens is therefore guilty, guilty of violence, he must therefore be named, Adrien Quatennens is therefore an aggressor and no aggressor has his place in the National Assembly, we firmly demand his resignation”, hammered an activist We All .

Adrien Quatennens is currently in office 116 facing the Public Prosecutor of Lille. The latter must present to him the facts for which he is being prosecuted and ask him if he still recognizes them.

Then, she will offer him a sentence that he will have to accept or not.

If he accepts it, a “probate hearing” will be held. It will be chaired by a judge. This hearing is usually public but a closed session could be requested to preserve the serenity of the debates.

Adrien Quatennens has arrived at the Lille court where he is due to appear in a few minutes. He entered through a door at the back of the building.

Could Adrien Quatennens return to the National Assembly? “In our group […] nobody considers that any hypothesis of return is impossible”, replied Manuel Bompard on France Inter this Monday.

On the morning of Adrien Quatennens’ hearing at the Lille courthouse, an installation appeared on the side of the building. A collage presenting a message against domestic violence: “An aggressor cannot be a deputy”.

For the facts with which he is charged, the deputy from the North faces up to two years in prison. But justice could be lenient and only grant him a fine, or an obligation to follow an awareness course on domestic violence.

The deputy from the North was appearing on Tuesday as part of a “guilty plea” procedure, a quick procedure to judge the perpetrators of offenses who admit the facts.

Concretely, Adrien Quatennens will be presented to a representative of the prosecution who will ask him if he still recognizes the facts and offer him a sentence. If the elected representative of the North accepts this sanction, he will then pass in stride before a judge who will “approve” the decision.
