“It would be absurd and politically irresponsible to set aside” Jean-Luc Mélenchon, believes Sunday June 23 on France Inter Clémence Guetté, candidate of the New Popular Front in the legislative elections in Val-de-Marne. Jean-Luc Mélenchon said on Saturday evening on France 5 that he was ready to become Prime Minister but there is no consensus within the left alliance itself.

“I say to the ambitious, who are in quite a hurry at the moment, that it would be absurd and politically irresponsible to put aside the one who is the most prepared among us all, the one who made 22% in the last presidential election”, believes Clémence Guetté. In response to Clémentine Autain, who underlines in The gallery that Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not reach consensus, Clémence Guetté believes that “Clémentine Autain does not reach consensus” she neither. The outgoing MP for Val-de-Marne calls for “stop these conflicts of people, these conflicts of ego”.

As for the question of the appointment of the Prime Minister in the event of a large victory for the left in the elections of June 30 and July 7, Clémence Guetté in turn indicates that “it is the majority group which will decide within itself” of the person to be presented.

Finally questioned about her position in the event of a triangular where the candidate of the New Popular Front would come in third position, Clémence Guetté insists that “not a voice” must not be given to the National Rally. “Not a voice for the racist far right in this country. There are people for whom it will be a question of survival if the far right is in power”she emphasizes.

Clémence Guetté is a candidate for re-election in the 2nd constituency of Val-de-Marne. Here are the other candidates:
Sabrina Pruvot (Far left)
Gérard Cruzille (Reconquest)
Mehmet Ceylan (Ensemble)
Michel Sasportas (The Republicans)
Antoine Ghaye (National Rally)
Patricia Foffe (Ecologists)
Clémence Boutarin (Far left)
Manon Haller (Far left)
