Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France insoumise, ended his term as deputy last June.
“The succession of Jean-Luc Mélenchon is not open“, assured Friday July 29 on franceinfo the deputy La France insoumise Eric Coquerel, while the former presidential candidate no longer has any political mandate since his withdrawal from the National Assembly in June 2022.
“I miss Jean-Luc, I tell you very clearly“said Chairman of the Finance Committee of the National Assembly, even if the LFI deputies know”cope“without him. In his eyes,”he remains the undisputed leader of rebellious France and therefore of Nupes. He remains the one who, on strategic and substantive issues, sets the tone and I think that will still be the case for a few years“.
Asked about the possible succession of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who will celebrate his 71st birthday on August 19, Eric Coquerel believes “that in the future, people can take his role [mais] that today, the place of Jean-Luc Mélenchon is essential“.
