François Asselineau Granted Non-Lieu in Harassment and Assault Case

The UPR leader's charges were dismissed by judges, but the Paris prosecutor's office has appealed the decision.

François Asselineau, leader of the Union Populaire Républicaine (UPR), was granted a non-lieu on December 6, dismissing charges of harassment and sexual assault against two former collaborators.
The Paris prosecutor's office has appealed the non-lieu decision, leaving the legal process ongoing.
The allegations, dating back to 2018 and 2019, included claims of unwanted advances, harassment, and intimidation, which Asselineau has consistently denied, calling them 'calumnies.'
The accusations arose during internal disputes within the UPR in 2020, with some party members seeking Asselineau's resignation or temporary withdrawal from leadership.
Asselineau, a proponent of France's exit from the EU, NATO, and the euro, has reaffirmed his confidence in the appeal process and awaits the final judgment.
