LFI deputy Eric Coquerel wants a parliamentary commission of inquiry
“Arrived in Ajaccio, I learn of the death of Yvan Colonna. If, as requested with other deputies, he had benefited from a rapprochement, this tragedy would never have happened. A parliamentary commission to find out the truth is imperative”, writes on social networks the deputy of La France insoumise Eric Coquerel.
His rebellious colleague from the North, Ugo Bernalicis, laments “a tragedy.”
The death of Yvan Colonna “signs a failure of our justice and of this government, which failed to protect and keep alive one of its detainees.”
