61.07%: this is the stratospheric score of Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the communist stronghold of Gennevilliers (92).
In the popular district of Agnettes, many young people, even very young voters gave their voice to the candidate of France Insoumise.
Among them, Sofiane, 20, who does not take off the day after the 1st round: “We have to be upset.
For those who didn't vote, now don't complain!
And that they stop whining, it's because of them, ”storms this young man from the neighborhood.
"Because of them", he must slip a vote for Macron in the second round of the presidential election.
"The five-year term he did is nonsense," he complains, before regretting the disunity of the left: "I don't know why they didn't join Mélenchon."

Dounia has also just celebrated its 20th birthday and put a Mélenchon ballot in the ballot box.
And for her too, this presidential election is a first.
His aftermath of the first round has a bitter taste.
Especially since, according to her, a particular breath had animated the young Agnettes.
“I felt that, like on the networks, there was encouragement, “go vote, go vote”.
I saw young people moving, whereas it is rare to see young people moving.
If Sofiane decided to vote somehow for Emmanuel Macron in the second round, Dounia hesitates: "Revote or vote blank, it depends".
Ilian, another twenty-something from the neighborhood has made his decision: “We will be forced to vote against the far right”.
He is convinced that the outgoing president is not going to "go crazy like Marine Le Pen can do to us".
Sofiane, for her part, remains hopeful: "We will try to prospect so that more young people talk about politics".
