Jean-Luc Mélenchon “leads the campaign” and unfolds his strategy in Guadeloupe and Martinique at a time when the rest of the left is in turmoil around calls for union. This Saturday, he must indeed give a meeting in the town of Lamentin. An appointment which should allow the candidate of rebellious France to test his popularity.
The presidential candidate of rebellious France continues his tour of the West Indies. After Guadeloupe, Jean Luc Mélenchon arrived in Martinique on Thursday. On the program of his Martinican tour, a visit to the center of the island on Friday, and above all, a campaign meeting this Saturday, in the town of Lamentin. And while Christiane Taubira finally declared that she was considering a candidacy in the face of the impasse of the left, for Jean-Luc Mélenchon, no question of dwelling on this announcement.
Measure your popularity rating
A “new season of a soap opera that he will follow from the Elysee Palace”, these are the words of the candidate of rebellious France who has filled his agenda for this express visit of 72 hours in Martinique. On the program, a meeting with elected representatives of the local authority and in particular its president of the executive council, Serge Letchimy, who embodies this branch of the autonomist left in Martinique.
But it is above all the meeting of this Saturday afternoon that should allow Jean-Luc Mélenchon to measure his popularity here, in Martinique. He must indeed give a meeting in the town of Lamentin around local figures of rebellious France, during which the question of the vaccine pass project should obviously be central. As for Sunday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon planned to close his visit with a wreath laying on the tomb of Aimé Césaire.
