Accusations of inappropriate behaviour with women

edit

Rumors have long circulated about his behaviour with women.[3] He was formally accused on 2 July 2022 of "inappropriate gestures" by Sophie Tissier, a former figure of the yellow vests protests. The latter declared having seized the committee against sexual violence of La France Insoumise.[4][5]
