Philippe Brun suspended from PS and excluded from left-wing primary, denounces 'slander'
The Eure deputy claims to be the victim of a malicious denunciation and announces legal action.
During a press conference Wednesday at the National Assembly, Philippe Brun denounced what he described as a "slanderous denunciation" at the root of his suspension from the Socialist Party and his exclusion from the left-wing primary. The Eure deputy referenced a dispute with a "former collaborator" whom he claimed was being "instrumentalized" by the PS to "politically destroy" him.
Brun announced his intention to file a complaint in response to these accusations. The specific reasons for his suspension were not detailed in the PS statement when the announcement was made.
