On the set of Daily, Friday January 14, Caroline Roux let herself go to the confidence. The journalist, who interviews personalities from the political world every morning on France 2, returned to her interviews with Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Every morning, viewers of France 2 find her in the 4 Truths where she rigorously questions the professionals of the French political landscape. Caroline Roux, guest in Daily on TMC Friday January 14, spoke about the presidential candidates. And the one the journalist prefers to interview… is Jean-Luc Mélenchon! “He’s the one who has something to say”, explained Caroline Roux. However, the Insoumis does not have the reputation of being tender with the media, with whom he regularly has tense exchanges. Jean-Luc Mélenchon a political figure of character, and it is precisely this that the journalist appreciates. “With him, it’s tight ball close to the net… You see? He returns the ball well, what! I like that requirement. It’s often very manly, him and me. I don’t mind“, assured the journalist.
In both substance and form, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is trying to pull out of the game. This Sunday, January 16, the presidential candidate of La France Insoumise (LFI) held an “immersive and olfactory” meeting In Nantes. around the arena, 200 meters of screen to broadcast 360-degree images, a device inspired by the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. Images at the service of his ideas. When he talks about his proposals on space exploration, for example, his supporters are immersed in space, surrounded by stars, with an unobstructed view of planet Earth. However, according to our colleagues from BFMTV, the olfactory device did not have the desired effect. On the spot, some thought they recognized the smell of incense, others of petroleum. It must be said that the FFP2 masks distributed at the entrance to the meeting due to the health crisis probably attenuated the fragrances.
An innovative meeting at 300,000 euros
An original meeting which has a dizzying cost. €300,000, as Manuel Bompard, campaign director for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, told our colleagues. It is “100,000 euros higher” at a traditional meeting, assured the entourage of the Insoumis. During the previous presidential campaign, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had bet on the hologram. This one will do his big comeback on April 5th, allowing the LFI candidate to hold a meeting in six major French cities simultaneously.
