In the second round, Mélenchon will ask left-wing voters not to “make the mistake” of voting for the RN

The question of voting instructions in the second round of the legislative elections, in the event of disqualification or withdrawal, definitely agitates all political staffs. If the presidential camp will decide on a case-by-case basis at the end of the first round on Sunday June 30, La France Insoumise has for the moment adopted only one line: no left-wing sympathizer must go to the National Rally. Guest on LCI on Wednesday evening, former presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon asked future voters of the “New Popular Front” not to “do this stupid thing, whatever the motive”.

“No Rebellious voter, I am certain, will never give their vote to the RN”, insisted the former Marseille MP. According to him, more detailed voting instructions will be given at the end of the week. Only one left “unknown” : the position of the Macronists who “established a link between National Rally and France Insoumise”. While Emmanuel Macron sent back to back the programs of “two extremes”which would lead to the “civil war”, the presidential camp seemed to establish a distinction between rebellious candidates on one side and socialists, communists and ecologists on the other. A double standard “infamous”castigated Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “Not only are they doing an abomination which amounts to helping the “National Front”, but also they would like to sort among the members of the New Popular Front to say this one yes, that one no”he joked.

“Capable” of being prime minister

In the event that the left-wing alliance wins the election on July 7, could the third man in the 2022 presidential election become prime minister? While François Hollande said that Jean-Luc Mélenchon was not “the man of consensus”the latter responded with a “neither yes nor no” but it’s gone «senti capable». Remembering that “the great left-wing force in this country was the insoumis movement.” “There are certainly people who think that the line of the Insoumis is that of Mélenchon, that’s too much. But there are a lot of people who think that other people’s line is really not enough.he explained.
