“The likelihood of having a majority seems to be improving for me, so I am more preparing for the idea of being Prime Minister than the idea of being an MP again”said Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Sunday May 8 on the set of the program Questions politiques de France Inter, franceinfo and Le Monde.
The former candidate of La France insoumise in the presidential election was designated by the agreement of the New Popular Union as the one who would be Prime Minister in the event of victory in the legislative elections in June. “I estimate that 7.7 million votes in the presidential election does not make me quite a passer-by in the street. I have a certain legitimacy to be in front in the ranks of the New Popular Union” .
Jean-Luc Mélenchon will therefore not be “presumably” not a candidate in a constituency. “The projection on the years to come and the nature of the campaign that must be carried out in a very short time” encourage him not to show up. “I will have to be present”, explains the one who currently holds a mandate in the 4th constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône. He recalled once again that “6 of the 24 Prime Ministers of the Fifth Republic had not been elected deputy”including the latest Jean Castex.
