“ I have never forgiven myself “. This Sunday, February 18, Adrien Quatennens he reversed his belief to four months’ suspended prison sentence for domestic violence in December 2022, which forced him to be excluded from La France Insoumise.
In an interview given to BFMTVhe returned to the slap he gave his wife: “ I was able to make mistakes, I never trivialized them and I recognized them “.
