Guest on the set of BFMTV, this Tuesday, May 6, Manuel Bompard described as “fiction” the book-investigation on Jean-Luc Mélenchon entitled The pack, whose publication is scheduled for Wednesday.
“A fiction”. This is the qualifier chosen by the LFI deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône Manuel Bompard, on BFMTV this Tuesday, May 6, to talk about the book-investigation, The pack, whose release is scheduled for Wednesday.
“This book, I think it’s a fiction,” said the coordinator of France rebellious on our antenna.
The book, signed Charlotte Belaïch (journalist in Liberation) and Olivier Pérou (journalist in the world), looks at the functioning of rebellious France describing a clan system around Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his partner, the deputy Sophia Chikirou.
The atmosphere within the movement is described as irrespirable and any divergence considered as a motif of eviction.
-“It does not correspond to reality”
Unlike “what this book makes believe”, LFI activists do not spend their time making “devotions” for a leader, underlines Manuel Bompard, but they are “engaged” around “convictions” and a “program they defend”.
“Through this book we depict militants and militants in rebellious France like people who do not think, who would not think, who would be alienated as if in the morning when we get up we ask the opinion of Jean-Luc Mélenchon to find out if we are going to have a tea or a coffee. Well no, that does not correspond to reality, that’s not how it works,” says Manuel Bompard.
How a party, which has set up “a training school” to give its activists “tools” of reflection, could prevent them from thinking for themselves? “, Continues the LFI deputy. In February 2023, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had indeed inaugurated The “La Boétie” training institute In Paris, intended to train future frames of the radical left.
Manuel Bompard, while evoking the party’s desire to move to a Vie République, finally assures that “if rebellious France arrives tomorrow in power, the functioning of French society will be much more democratic than under Emmanuel Macron”.
