“For the past few days, my person has been targeted by unjust attacks which are a disservice to my political group, the electoral deadlines and more generally democracy”, she explains, in a letter published on her Twitter account.

“I refuse to be the object of an anti-parliamentary cabal, in the same way that I refuse to lend myself to a ping-pong of justifications, which border on a phantasmagoric lynching on social networks”.

“Devaluing” behavior, “value conflict”

In a report from a human resources firm sent in the spring of 2021 to the ethics officer of the National Assembly, ex-collaborators accuse him of having imposed on them “tasks within the personal sphere”.

In this document published by Mediapart, they also accuse him of “devaluing” remarks and behavior but also a “conflict of values” or “ethics”.

In particular on the use of its money order advances.

It is in particular a question of "monthly clothing expenses within a range of 1,500 to 2,000 euros" or "very high restaurant costs", details the report.

At Mediapart, the lawyer indicated that she had made reimbursements of costs deemed unrelated to the exercise of the mandate of deputy.

This reimbursement was made after a check by the ethics officer of the National Assembly for the years 2018 and 2019. Each deputy has a monthly advance for mandate expenses of 5,373 euros which is added to the remuneration of elected officials.
