Jean-Luc Mélenchon is convinced that he knows the immediate measures to take to respond to the Covid-19 epidemic. The leader of the Insoumis never ceased to hammer his will to nationalize and requisition the necessary French companies, during the "Grand Jury RTL-LCI- Le Figaro ". “ We must requisition what there is a textile production company in our country to produce masks. Nationalization, sometimes, is a solution. ", Insisted the deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône.
“ I don't understand why we don't nationalize Luxfer, for example. What does it cost to nationalize? », He wonders about the French company which manufactures medical oxygen cylinders. " Here we are wasting time. " I spoke with employers' leaders and they themselves are not frightened by nationalization, " he says, before citing the example of Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, the president of Medef, who said in favor of the nationalization of French companies put in great difficulty by the impact of the epidemic. " I know how we could take the questions, but I don't have the technostructure to do it, " regrets the head of the Insoumis. He also proposes the suspension of rents for individuals and considers that "in retrospect it must be admitted: it appears that closing the borders is an additional guarantee that one gives oneself ".
" Whatever they tell me, I won't believe them anymore "
In addition, he no longer trusts the government in the management of the crisis, which he nevertheless assures does not want to overwhelm. “ I have made up my mind now to no longer believe them. Whatever they tell me, I won't believe them anymore . ” " They claim that they asked us for our opinion on the municipal elections: what they never did, " admits Jean-Luc Mélenchon regarding the maintenance of the first round. " The WHO recommendations were at the beginning:" we must test everyone "and we asked the government about it. We were not told anything , ”he added, before completely rejecting a unity government. " Sacred union, that means shut up ".
As for the “ world after ”, mentioned by Emmanuel Macron during his speech on March 16, Jean-Luc Mélenchon poses one condition: an inevitable change in growth mode. Otherwise, " the next world will be like the world before ".
