Always very lively when he is invited to debate politics, Jean-Luc Mélenchon got into an argument with Aurélie Casse and Natacha Polony during the show C the weekly broadcast on June 22, 2024 on France 5. Asked about the future legislative elections, the 72-year-old politician got angry when he was reminded of the famous sentence which had left the party in embarrassment: “When Léon Blum became head of government in 1936, he was not at the level of Manuel Bompard nor Mathilde Panot or Clémence Gaieté.” Jean-Luc Mélenchon thus affirmed the supposed lack of experience of Léon Blum in 1936 compared to several rebellious elected officials, much more competent (according to him).
Besides the fact that this sentence turned out to be absolutely false since Léon Blum was boss of the SFIO group in the Assembly from 1919 to 1936 and that he was then appointed president of the Council following victory in the legislative elections of 1936 of the Popular Front, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s remark was still the subject of debate on France 5. After having indicated that “as King Louis XI said“, his tongue had him “it’s expensive“, the creator of the LFI (La France insoumise) movement was extremely annoyed by the behavior of the journalists, who dared to bring this subject back to the table.
After Jean-Luc Mélenchon told Natacha Polony to “to lower one’s tone”he then had to answer a question from Aurélie Casse: “Do you regret that sentence?” “But not at all! Because you journalists are the permanent tribunal that makes people regret the sentences”, replied Jean-Luc Mélenchon, affirming that he had simply done “a joke”.

A little later, Aurélie Casse wanted to discuss the anti-Semitic rumors which sometimes weigh on the LFI party. Recalling the words of Serge Klarsfeld (Nazi hunter) who declared: “EIn the event of a LFI and RN duel, I vote RN because LFI is a resolutely anti-Jewish party.Aurélie Casse wanted to have the politician’s opinion on these comments.
“I knew it smelled like a trap! It’s my trial, wait, I’m bringing a lawyer. I’m bringing my file. This isn’t an interview, it’s a trial. (…) Stop for a moment, ma’am. I will respond to every sentence when my trial takes place. If you want, I offer you this: we’re doing a big show and it’s my trial. I will have time to defend myself, to know the evidence that is against me.” replied, a little vindictively, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
