On the sanctions against Russia, the LFI MP believes that “not much happened”, “apart from a yacht seized in La Ciotat”.

Ukrainian refugees: a “variable geometry generosity”
“We must welcome the Ukrainians, it is the honor of France”, says Alexis Corbière. Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s spokesperson, however, regrets the “hardness” and the “coldness” of the government with regard to the fate of other refugees, in particular Syrians: “I do not have a variable geometry generosity and hospitality vis-à-vis the misfortunes of the world and those who are its victims. We must welcome the Ukrainians, but we must also take our part in the terrible crisis of the immigrants.”
Presidential: “Let’s all come together”
Alexis Corbière believes that“we have the possibility, which is quite exciting, of being able to be in the second round of the presidential election with Jean-Luc Mélenchon. We have to stop the small polemics.” The deputy La France insoumise calls “everyone” and “all those who wish” at “build a new majority on ecological and social requirements”. “Let’s all come together to write another future for our country”launches the spokesperson for Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
