Jean-Luc Mélenchon positions himself for the post of Prime Minister

Discreet for several days, Jean-Luc Mélenchon responded bluntly about a possible position at Matignon. “Two years ago, we ran a Mélenchon Prime Minister campaign, I’m not going to tell you that I’m not a possibility”declared the leader of France Insoumise on Saturday June 22 on France 5. This declaration sows a little more confusion over the alliance strategy of the left.

François Ruffin, Clémentine Autain and Raphaël Glucksmann said they felt capable of assuming the role of Prime Minister. This confusion embarrasses left-wing activists who think that Mélenchon is too divisive to succeed Gabriel Attal. For Martine Aubry, the leader of the Insoumis will not become Prime Minister, an opinion shared by Arthur Delaporte. According to the latest polls, the French would give their preferences to Raphaël Glucksmann in the event of a victory for the New Popular Front.
