Philippe Brun Suspended from Socialist Party and Barred from Presidential Primary
The lawmaker was suspended Wednesday by the PS and excluded from the social-democratic primary due to allegations of violence, which he says he is unaware of.
The Socialist Party suspended Deputy Philippe Brun on Wednesday, September 16, and barred him from the social-democratic primary for the presidential election, according to information reported by France 24.
According to the news outlet, the suspension comes "in response to allegations of violence" against the 34-year-old lawmaker.
When questioned about these allegations, Philippe Brun stated that he was "unaware" of what he was being accused of, according to the same reports.
The Socialist lawmaker had planned to participate in the social-democratic primary, whose registration deadline closed the previous day, Tuesday, September 15 at midnight.
