Legislative: after his conviction, the ex-LREM deputy El Guerrab does not represent himself

This is the end of a false suspense. The ex-LREM deputy M'jid El Guerrab, recently sentenced for an assault, announced on Saturday that he would not stand for re-election and support Minister Elisabeth Moreno, invested by the majority in the constituency of the French in the Maghreb and West Africa. M'jid El Guerrab "has taken note of the judgment rendered in the context of a case unrelated to his mandate" and "intends now to devote all his strength to his legal defense by appealing this decision", he writes in a Press release.

Aged 39, this elected ex-LREM was sentenced Thursday to one year in prison and two years of ineligibility for the assault with a helmet on a former socialist leader, Boris Faure, in 2017. The latter however, continued to target his attacker on the social network Twitter, accusing him, among other things, of "victimizing himself".

I was really planning to rest this weekend but my friends tell me: 1 / That my attacker appealed the decision and can therefore present himself 2 / That he would have been received yesterday at the Élysée by Pierre Herrero 3 / That he spoke on a loop of the majority to victimize himself— Boris Faure (@BorisFaure) May 14, 2022

Duel within En Marche

"By withdrawing from the electoral campaign which has already begun, M'jid El Guerrab calls on all his fellow citizens who have France at heart to vote massively for the official majority candidate, Mrs. Elisabeth Moreno", Minister Delegate for Equality women-men, can we read in its press release.

This coveted 9th constituency of French people living abroad is the subject of an imbroglio in the majority. A reputable entrepreneur close to the Macron couple, Ahmed Eddarraz, has announced that he will maintain his candidacy despite the inauguration of Minister Elisabeth Moreno, whom he does not consider "not ready".

" After a night of reflection and consultation, I decide to maintain my candidacy for the legislative elections." ✊
