Several environmental executives criticize the boss of France Insoumise for the use of the term “provocation” to qualify the defense of “democratic countries” against “authoritarian” regimes.
La Nupes tears itself apart on international issues. After initial internal friction linked to the motion for a resolution aimed at denouncing the alleged “institutionalization by Israel of an apartheid regime», it is now the surge of tension between Beijing and Taipei that is cracking the cartel of the lefts. “Mélenchon spoke of “provocation” when democratic Ukraine defended itself in Donbass against authoritarian Russia. And (he) speaks of “provocation” of Taiwan when this country acts freely against China. A democratic country is necessarily a “provocation” for a dictatorship“, Assailed this Friday afternoon the boss of environmentalists, Julien Bayou, on Twitter.
In question, the recent blog post published by the leader of France Insoumise to denounce the Asian tour of the leader of the American deputies, Nancy Pelosi, accused according to him of wanting to “open a new front” while he “there is only one china” to his eyes. “Taiwan is an integral part of China“, still saw fit to add the third man of the last presidential election, which completes a visit to Latin America, started on July 12, and which in turn led him to Mexico, Honduras and finally Colombia. .

In the wake of their leader, several environmental executives have also stepped up to castigate the exit of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and are moved by the recognition expressed to him by the Chinese Embassy in France. “These are thanks that I would not like to receive! Shame to speak of a single China and to call into question the right of peoples to self-determination. This country imprisons the Uyghurs and carries out a policy of systematic repression against any opposition“, hammered the MEP EELV Mounir Satouri.
