“After meeting Monday evening with Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, I decided to put myself back from the Socialist Party and thus the CBC group in the National Assembly (…) But I want to reiterate that the sequence of shocking negligence that put me in this situation does not make me a fraud (…) My constituents in Saône-et Loire will be my sole judges “in parliamentary elections in 2017, he wrote. He will sit with the independents. The return to the National Assembly takes place this Tuesday, September 9.

His wife was put on leave from the Senate
. The prospect of his return to the Palais Bourbon has met with strong disapproval across the political spectrum. Monday again, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Claude Bartolone (PS), had called him to resign from his office. “I am certain that after the choice has been able to represent, including his personal life, the output of government, it will make a decision that both protects him but we collectively protect”, said Claude Bartolone, while adding that he had “no way to prevent it from being an MP.” “You have to let him go,” had said the Socialist Mayor of Lille Martine Aubry.

Meanwhile, the wife of Thomas Thévenoud was put “on leave without pay” until September 30, from his post as chief of staff to Senate President.
