Why It Matters
The article relates a campaign meeting of Jean-Luc Mélenchon at Le Bourget, Saturday November 7, followed by the release in bookstores of the presidential program of the Insoumis, new version of "The Future in Common" with 1,069 proposals.
Faced with a large and enthusiastic audience, Jean-Luc Mélenchon promised, Saturday November 7, not to deviate from his resolutely radical line during his meeting at Le Bourget (Seine-Saint-Denis). “Other commentators recommend that I put water in my wine to seduce and be less divisive. I will not do it,” warned the LFI candidate to the public.
As usual since the start of his campaign, the rebellious tribune was able to mobilize sympathizers and activists: at the Bourget exhibition center, there were more than 20,000 according to the organizers. “I only have one reasonable thing to offer you, everything must be changed,” he also said.
“We are going to stay on our rupture project but by expanding on subjects that we perhaps mentioned less”, such as “ecological diseases”, explained to the press his right-hand man, the coordinator of LFI Manuel Bompard. The rebellious leader began his speech by observing a minute of silence in tribute to Pengo Bossio Wangi, killed during the racist attacks in Trappes and La Verrière (Yvelines), and whose funeral took place on Saturday.
“Dark end of reign”
Then he attacked the 10 years of management of the country by Emmanuel Macron. “Strange moment”, “Macronist agony”, “dark end of reign”: he did not skimp on adjectives to describe the end of the mandate of the Head of State, marked by the discontent of young people and part of the world of work.
In the demonstrations, according to him, it is "the savagery of police violence" which is the response to the expectations expressed. He also reserved some arrows for the National Rally: “They have no idea, apart from racism,” he denounced.
This event followed the release in bookstores on Friday of the presidential program of the Insoumis, a new version of “The Future in Common”, with 1,069 proposals. At the entrance to the exhibition center, members of the “Nous Vivrons” collective, however, came to remind us that the rebellious leader is regularly accused of flirting with anti-Semitism, singing “hatred of Jews is Mélenchon’s passion”.
