Mélenchon denounces Bardella-Farage agreement on migrants as “miserable” and “lamentable”

The LFI presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, judged Jordan Bardella's proposal on the interception of migrants wanting to reach the United Kingdom "miserable" this Saturday, as part of a symbolic agreement signed by the president of the National Rally with Nigel Farage, Brexit figure.

“Without having been asked, (Jordan Bardella) promises the English fascists that the French will recover the people they want to throw out and that then we will also take care of expelling them from our home. How can you be so miserable? » protested the leader of La France insoumise during a speech resembling a meeting in front of several thousand people at the Braderie in Lille. “No, it wasn’t France that was speaking, it was just a fascist with no reputation and no reach,” he added.

“Lamentable” comments, believes Mélenchon

RN boss Jordan Bardella symbolically signed a memorandum of understanding in England on Friday with his anti-European ally Nigel Farage, a criticized part of which provides for the return to France of illegal migrants intercepted in British waters.

Thus “people who came to France with the intention of returning to our country will not succeed,” detailed Nigel Farage. Jean-Luc Mélenchon judged “lamentable” the comments of Jordan Bardella, intended for Matignon in the event of Marine Le Pen’s victory in the presidential election.

The president of the RN had also qualified his party's position on aid to Ukraine, while his vice-president Louis Aliot had mentioned the hypothesis of "turning off the tap". “I remind you that France is financially ruined,” explained the RN MEP.

“When you are abroad, you do not say bad things about your homeland and you do not say that it is ruined. Because when we say that the country is ruined, we attract the vultures of capitalism,” criticized Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
