INTERVIEW
While Richard Ferrand, President LREM of the National Assembly, is heard by the courts on Wednesday in the Mutuelles de Bretagne case, no question for the government to comment. Invited from Europe 1, Marc Fesneau, Minister in charge of Relations with the Parliament, stuck to the elements of austerity language.
"It's a normal procedure"
"Justice does its job, continues its course, you have to be respectful of the principle of separation of powers," he said. "Richard Ferrand is to my knowledge auditioned so I will not comment." The Minister also did not answer the question of whether a potential indictment of the Member should result in his automatic resignation. "A problem arises only when it is before us I do not prejudge the facts that are before us Nobody is above the law, but no one is below Richard Ferrand is auditioned is a normal procedure. "
Asked about the hearing, again, of François Bayrou and Marielle de Sarnez in the case of parliamentary assistants MoDem unduly paid with the envelope of the European Parliament, Marc Fesneau has not changed its course of action. "We do a service to democracy when neither the elected officials nor the press come to interfere with the facts," he simply said. "It's good that they can say what they have to say, in court proceedings, it's contradictory."
