The director of Sciences Po Mathias Vicherat, recently questioned by the police in a case of domestic violence, "proposed" on Monday his "temporary withdrawal" to the president of the National Foundation of Political Science (FNSP), in a message addressed to the whole school and transmitted to AFP.

"I have proposed to the president of the National Foundation for Political Science (FNSP), Laurence Bertrand Dorléac, to temporarily step down from my duties according to the modalities, a timetable and a duration that it is up to her to define and that she will present to the various bodies this week," it said.

About 50 students blocked the entrance to the historic building of Sciences Po Paris (7th arrondissement) last week to demand the resignation of its director, who was placed in police custody between Sunday and Monday in a case of domestic violence.
