French MP Sébastien Delogu Convicted of Aggravated Violence

The LFI deputy was fined €5,000 for attacking school staff during a protest in Marseille, sparking calls for his resignation.

Sébastien Delogu, a deputy from La France Insoumise (LFI), was convicted of aggravated violence against school staff during a 2023 protest in Marseille.
The court ordered Delogu to pay a €5,000 fine, €600 in damages, and €1,000 in legal fees to each of the two victims.
The incident occurred during a school blockade against pension reforms, where Delogu allegedly kicked the deputy principal and a senior education advisor.
Delogu's lawyer announced plans to appeal the ruling, maintaining the deputy's denial of the allegations.
The conviction has led to widespread public and political criticism, with many demanding Delogu's resignation from the National Assembly.
