MP Adrien Quatennens, suspended four months after his conviction for violence against his ex-girlfriend, was reinstated Tuesday in the LFI group in the National Assembly. 47 LFI deputies voted for a return on Thursday, 15 voted against, two abstained.
53 MPs then considered, in a second vote, that "the conditions" for his reinstatement were "met", only six being against. The decision quickly provoked a reaction from the Socialist Party. Several voices within the left-wing alliance Nupes pleaded for its definitive exclusion.
