Jean-Luc Mélenchon n’a pas esquivé le sujet samedi, au Bourget (Seine-Saint-Denis), devant 20.000 soutiens : lui président, la France entrera «franchement dans le règlement de l’invasion russe en Ukraine». La polémique est venue de la manière dont il compte s’y prendre.
Le chef de LFI a évoqué l’hypothèse d’un accord de paix incluant des concessions territoriales, en exigeant la consultation des populations concernées. De telles concessions ne pourraient se faire «sans qu’on demande aux populations concernées si elles sont d’accord pour se trouver de ce côté-ci de la frontière ou de l’autre», a-t-il déclaré.
