For several days now, France Insoumise is going through a zone of turbulence, since Jean-Luc Mélenchon in a tweet gave his support to Adrien Quatennens, who admitted acts of domestic violence. The explanations that followed still do not seem to calm the climate within the Nupes.
Feminism is waving as a standard. Jean-Luc Mélenchon often says that words are like shells. This time it’s a boomerang. Speaking of the courage of Adrien Quatennens, targeted by a case of domestic violence, did Jean-Luc Mélenchon commit a political fault likely to weaken his movement? Saturday evening, September 24, the triple presidential candidate sketched a mea culpa. Because several cases of sexist or sexual violence have splashed the movement of Nupes, that its militant base in particular, thought ahead of the cause of women.
This week, between Manuel Bompard, who seems to relativize and procrastination at a press conference, embarrassment has won the ranks. For political critics who will not fail to exploit the flaw, the Nupes is above ground, disoriented. The governance of the movement seems to be reviewed, especially after electoral success. Can the Nupes get up, and its creator, regain confidence in the face of the intransigence of the feminists within it? As an aside, a relative confides: “Jean-Luc, we take him with his qualities, and his faults”. Way of saying that loyalty to the leader will not crumble anytime soon.
