During his trial on April 17, Daniel Grenon, deputy not registered after his exclusion from the National Rally (RN), had laboriously tried to plead his innocence.

A fine of 1,500 euros had been required against Daniel Grenon – one of the many « Grainteen sheep » of the RN identified on the occasion of the 2024 legislative elections, after the dissolution of the National Assembly by Emmanuel Macron – which had estimated that a « Binational Maghrebi has no place in the high places ». Remarks made on July 1, in the interwar period of the early election, when the outgoing deputy of the first district of the Yonne, in the campaign for his re-election, participated in a debate organized by the local newspaper The Republican Yonne.

In the transcription of the exchange, still online on the daily website, We can read the response of the old merchant: “There are slippages everywhere. If we want to come back to the binationals, all these things are questionable. My grandfather was Armenian, he never bothered anyone. Out of 30 or 40 stations, you cannot afford to have binationals. Maghrebians came to power in 2016, these people do not have their place in the high places. ”
The public prosecutor was seized on July 3, and Jordan Bardella, faced with the audio recording of the deputy’s words, had condemned « Abject words ».

According to the court’s decision this Friday, one of the most strategic commissions of the National Assembly could accommodate a guilty, and yet not binational deputy.
