Four days before the first round of the legislative elections, the confrontation between the camp of the head of state and that of Jean-Luc Mélenchon is doubling in intensity. For the Minister of Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s program represents “a disaster for France”.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s program represents “a disaster for France”, said Minister of Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher on Wednesday four days before the first round of the legislative elections. “We must give a majority to Emmanuel Macron. I do not believe for a minute that Mr. Mélenchon is capable of carrying French ambitions”, she underlined on C news.
“His decisions will precipitate millions of French people into unemployment”
For the minister, the rebellious leader “is extraordinarily ambiguous in relation to Russia and I do not think it is in France’s interest to throw herself into the arms of Vladimir Putin as he suggests”.
“I do not believe that it is in the interest of the energy transition to get out of nuclear (…) I do not believe either that he is capable of carrying out a project that benefits the working classes because his decisions will precipitate millions of French people in unemployment. We are the government of purchasing power (…) Mr. Mélenchon’s program is a disaster for France.”
For Mrs. Pannier-Runacher, “it must also be said that Nupes is a normative fiction. The left-wing groups have already said that they were going to sit in their corner. That is unlike anything. And then we + don’t elect Jean -Luc Mélenchon Prime Minister +, a fortiori someone who was not able to be in the second round and who is not a candidate for the legislative elections. There too we live on lies. Mr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon is lying ” .
