PRESIDENTIAL- Guest of the RTL-Le Figaro-LCI Grand Jury this Sunday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon again rejected the proposal to participate in a primary, while considering that there was no “natural candidate” on the left, understood him.
LCI editorial staff –
“I embody the popular pole” from the left, estimated on LCI the candidate of La France Insoumise in the presidential election, “as heir to the Left Front and the left of the socialist movement”. Jean-Luc Mélenchon recognized that there was on the left a “competition”, where he would hold the position of the “rupture”, but was doubtful about the possibility of a union.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon entered the stage of the Grand Jury an hour after the announcement by Christiane Taubira that she would accept “the verdict of the People’s Primary”, which according to her would be the “last chance for a possible union of the left”. It is only natural that a good part of the cross-interview with the LFI candidate focused on this hypothesis of a primary, which he insisted that she did not. “not concerned”.
“The time has passed to hold conferences”
“She has the right”, recognized Jean-Luc Mélenchon, “the French are big boys and big girls, they know how to choose”. However, he mocked an ambiguity in the statement of the former Minister of Justice, who said “take the risk of democracy”. “No, it’s taking the risk of going in front of a panel of registered people”, specified the guest of the Grand Jury, “we don’t know who they are”, an allusion to the “Popular Primary” movement, an online citizens’ initiative, with which Christiane Taubira already appears to be very popular.

For the candidate of La France Insoumise, it is anyway too late to embark on the path of a consultation on the left: “90 days before a presidential election, the time has passed to hold conferences”, he mocked. Another reason cited by Jean-Luc Mélenchon: “the risk of a common program is to make a ‘minimum program'”to satisfy all currents, and which the voters would not want. For him, the union “would prevent mobilization”, he hammered.

The LFI candidate, however, conceded a unifying commitment to the zealots of a primary on the left: “I make the commitment that, if I get to the second round, that the next day the discussion will be open for the majority to be formed in the government.” A way to recognize that he would need “bring together” to hope to win.
