(FRANCEINFO)
“If it is I who must be Prime Minister, admit that I am perhaps not the least badly placed to exercise this function,” said Jean-Luc Mélenchon on France 2, Monday June 24. The leader of La France insoumise, however, assured that he was “not a candidate for anything”.
Who will take on the role of Prime Minister if the New Popular Front wins the legislative elections? From the birth of the coalition, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said he was capable of it, enough to provoke an outcry from his left-wing allies. Monday June 24, on the France 2 set, the leader of La France insoumise repeated that he would not impose himself, without eliminating himself.
“If it is I who must be Prime Minister, admit that I am perhaps not the least badly placed to exercise this function”he said, while ensuring that he was not “candidate for nothing”. Throughout the day, the leaders of the left-wing parties wanted to reassure the electorate who could be cold at the idea of seeing Jean-Luc Mélenchon arrive at Matignon. The latter also proposed several names from his camp for the post of Prime Minister, such as Manuel Bompard, Mathilde Panot and Éric Coquerel.
