The electorate of Jean-Luc Mélenchon represents more than seven million votes, coveted by Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. But many voters of The insubordinate France hesitate to abstain or to vote white for the second round of the presidential election, Sunday April 24.
The cities of Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) and Avignon (Vaucluse) placed Jean-Luc Mélenchon well ahead in the first round of the presidential election. The voters of The Insubordinate France are now wondering who to vote for in the second round, Sunday April 24. Some admit, half-wordly, that their newsletter could go toward Marine Le Pen. “We had five years of Macron, if we could try something else…”says one of them. “Maybe, why not Marine Le Pen. We will try change”argues another.
Others already know that they will block the National Rally. “By lucidity, and by conviction not to make pass the extreme right”, reveals a voter. A majority of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s supporters still feel lost. “I do not find myself at all in this second round, I do not understand, and I do not want to vote for the least worse”, explains a woman. In the premises of The Insubordinate France in Marseille, activists are considering voting for Emmanuel Macron, but say they are difficult to convince. “His economic, social, ecological program is not the majority in this country. If he does not hear it, I am very, very afraid of the result in the second round”believes Karim Khelfaoui.
