The day after Valérie Pécresse’s victory in the Republican primary, and a few hours before the meeting of Eric Zemmour, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had gathered his supporters in La Défense (Hauts-de-Seine), Sunday, December 5. There were more people than expected, and hundreds of people had to watch the meeting from outside the hall, which was full. Éric Zemmour was the first target of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “No, France is not the extreme right. France is social security, it is public health, it is emancipation, it is sharing.”

The candidate of rebellious France then attacked Valérie Pécresse. “It has quadrupled, in the Île-de-France region, subsidies for private education, and halved the credits for social housing. Its program is a reactionary festival. Eliminate 50,000 civil servants, bring retirement to 65 years.” The rebels also claimed the arrival in their ranks of the former spokesperson for Sandrine Rousseau, Thomas Portes. Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not want to leave the field to the right and the extreme right.
