It is reserved for those who have sponsored Jean-Luc Mélenchon on the site of the Popular Union and who had signed this appeal before the first round of the presidential election last Sunday at 8 p.m., at the time of the results. Those who joined the movement after this date cannot participate in this great consultation. This consultation will be launched this Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.
According to Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s campaign team, they are around 315,000 to be able to participate in the vote, which takes the form of an internal poll. Only one question will be asked and three choices will be possible.
What position do you want to adopt for the second round? Abstention, white vote and Emmanuel Macron vote are proposed. On the other hand, the question of a vote in favor of Marine Le Pen will not be asked.
Sunday evening, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was very clear, repeating four times in his speech “not a voice to Marine le Pen”. The candidate’s campaign manager, Manuel Bompard, specifies that it is not a question “of a voting instruction”. The site will display a map with the results of the different choices. This consultation represents more of a symbolic and non-binding action in view of the 7,714,574 votes collected Sunday evening by La France insoumise, whose candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon came in third position, behind the two qualified for the second round Emmanuel Macron and Marine The pen.
