[Principale figure de la gauche, Jean-Luc Mélenchon a su créer, depuis son départ du Parti socialiste en 2008, un appareil militant qui lui est totalement dévoué, parfois au prix d’excommunications publiques et de purges militantes. Dans leur enquête très dense, fruit d’un travail de deux ans où ils ont interrogé plus de deux cents personnes, deux spécialistes de la Mélenchonie, Charlotte Belaïch (Libération) et Olivier Pérou (Le Monde), décrivent le fonctionnement de La France insoumise (LFI) où chaque divergence est perçue comme une trahison, où la contestation n’est pas admise et où la violence verbale est érigée en règle.
