He says to himself “sorry”. The leader of Nupes, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, admitted on Tuesday, June 14, to have made “a slip” after inviting “fachos not too angry” to vote for the left-wing coalition. “I appealed to the angry not fachos. Not the other way around”he clarified, on Twitter, the day after his interview in the “20 hours” of France 2.
It was a slip. Sorry. I appealed to the angry not fachos. Not the reverse. Current values and a few others are therefore not affected. On the other hand Castaner has said all his nonsense. And he does not regret them.

Monday evening, the president of the LREM group in the National Assembly, Christophe Castaner, had accused Jean-Luc Mélenchon of“call on the ‘fachos’ to vote for him”. He had seen in this hesitant formulation the proof of“an assumed rapprochement with the far right”. On Monday afternoon, the former interior minister’s tweet was still online.
Yes, you heard right. @JLMelenchon calls on the “fachos” to vote for him.
We had seen the ambiguity. It is now an assumed rapprochement with the extreme right.pic.twitter.com/UcW8kqRBhn— Christophe Castaner (@CCastaner) June 13, 2022
