Griveaux, ally of France's Macron, withdraws from Paris mayoral race
PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron suffered a setback on Friday when one of his closest lieutenants, Benjamin Griveaux, pulled out of the race to become mayor of Paris after it was alleged he sent sexual images to a woman who is not his wife.
He said he and his family had been subjected to months of anonymous statements defaming him, and threats to disclose private conversations stolen from him. The chat included a video showing a man’s genitals. Griveaux has not disputed that he sent the messages. Griveaux was central to Macron’s bid to control the French capital and build a local power base for his party in mayoral elections next month.Macron’s LREM party had chosen Griveaux to represent it in the Paris mayoral campaign over Cedric Villani, an eccentric mathematician.
