Guest on the 23h set of franceinfo, Thomas Portes, member of the Popular Union campaign parliament and supporter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, explained that the program of the candidate of insubordinate France was the only one proposing a real “break”. He also stressed that he was the only chance to eliminate the far-right from the “political game”.
According to recent polls, Jean-Luc Mélenchon consolidates his third place in voting intentions. And this, on the eve of a large rally to, according to him, launch the “6th Republic”. “Tomorrow there will be a very important march for us. This is what we call the spring of the people”, explains Thomas Portes, member of the Popular Union campaign parliament and support of the candidate of insubordinate France. “I believe that there is a dynamic around his program because he is a candidate who offers the only program of rupture and general interest in this campaign”he continues.
Given his current position, should Jean-Luc Mélenchon not reach out to Anne Hidalgo, Fabien Roussel or Yannick Jadot, wonders Jean-Christophe Galeazzi, political journalist, on the set of franceinfo. “His position forces us to build the largest rally around this candidacy. In 2007 and 2012 we were with the Communist Party, and from the start we told them to join the campaign of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. (…) The hand is outstretched and voting for him would eliminate the far right from the political game and have a real second round with Emmanuel Macron on a social project”emphasizes Thomas Portes.
