Accused of rape by two women, the new Minister of Solidarity, Damien Abad, defends himself.

For Xavier Bertrand, the president Les Républicains of the Hauts-de-France region, guest of Europe Matin on Tuesday, only justice can decide on the subject even if Emmanuel Macron and Élisabeth Borne "made this choice in full knowledge of cause".

"Only justice can decide", argued Xavier Bertrand on Europe 1. Since his appointment to the Ministry of Solidarity, Autonomy and Disabled People, Damien Abad, has not ceased to be talked about .

For good reason, two women accuse him of rape.

The former president of the LR group in the National Assembly defends himself and claims to be "innocent".

"It is obvious that Mr. Macron, Mrs. Borne made this choice in full knowledge of the facts", said the president Les Républicains of the Hauts-de-France region.
