The leader of rebellious France, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, arrived in Guadeloupe on Wednesday, December 15, to campaign for the presidential election of 2022, and reiterated his opposition to the vaccine obligation.
“I hope you’re not here just to look pretty”, immediately warns a woman while Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate of rebellious France with his popular union, arrives in Guadeloupe. In front of the Pointe-à-Pitre hospital, he spoke with caregivers and trade unionists who are fighting against the vaccine obligation. “For decades, politicians, we see them too much and only during election campaigns”, asserts a demonstrator.
“I don’t understand why they behave like this, why they add fuel to the fire. They want to put people down, they are wasting their time”, answers Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The latter, for the vaccine, but against the vaccine obligation, listened to the anger of the unions and met influential personalities. The candidate is very popular on the archipelago: in 2017, he won 24% of the vote, in second place, behind Emmanuel Macron.
