A parliamentary committee ruled Wednesday that Hollande will not face impeachment proceedings over comments he made to two journalists that suggested French intelligence services carried out four targeted attacks on his orders. It is clarified that we are talking about airstrikes in Syria in 2013.
Earlier this month, conservative parliamentarian Pierre Lelouch initiated the process of activating Article 68 of the French constitution, allowing the president to be impeached on the grounds that Hollande violated national security protocols.
According to parliamentary sources, 13 deputies spoke out against the initiative, but eight supported the project.
Earlier, the Paris prosecutor's office opened a preliminary investigation into a possible threat to France's national defense due to the leak of confidential information. We are talking about a document regarding airstrikes in Syria in 2013, which came to the journalists of Le Monde, with which President Francois Hollande introduced them during an interview.
