2021-03-23T17:49:43.406Z


Traveling to Amiens to support a young activist, the Insoumis candidate directly opposed the words of his former student union comrade, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis.


I can see them falling for you on these support groups, but the truth is that they want to dissolve you!

"Traveling in the Somme on the occasion of the trial of a young activist - Gaspard Fontaine -, dropout of a painting by Emmanuel Macron in the town hall of Amiens, Jean-Luc Mélenchon encouraged two activists of the UNEF to fight for the survival of their student union.

Beyond his only questioning for the organization of “non-mixed racialized” meetings, the presidential rebellious candidate ensures that union action as a whole is targeted, the CGT in particular.

"

These support groups, I have no real opinion, I do not know how it works,

" cautiously recognized the leader of the rebels, himself a former UNEF.

But he explained to them that in his time, controversies already existed over single-sex meetings.

I knew that when I was at Unef

, he told them.

There were women's support groups, and in particular the MLF, which (...) were reserved for women.

Already at the time we were discussing, we wondered why we do it like this ... We men took a long time to understand why it was easier for them to hold meetings reserved for women.

It is not pleasant to hear when you are a man, but hey there it is ... This is life, this is reality ...

 "

In front of the two students, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said he was convinced that today, the objective was the dissolution of the UNEF.

As they were dissolved Identity Generation

, he assured,

they are looking for the sick beast.

They tell themselves that the UNEF, no one is going to defend them.

And indeed, some of the former socialist leaders who have been the godfathers of the UNEF for more than a decade have abandoned it to the vengeance, see run ahead ...

"

"What an incredible sag ..."

The LFI candidate is targeting in particular Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, former first secretary of the PS and former boss of the UNEF (1980 -1984), who ruled in the columns of

Figaro that

with the UNEF today, we are believes “the Red Guards returned to Maoist China”.

Enough to make Mélenchon furious.

"

Incredible What slump

 ," he held, denouncing "

the

lies about the meetings closed to whites

 ."

"

When alcoholics anonymous get together, is it in hatred of nonalcoholics?"

When women get together, is it in hatred of men?

Of course not.

"

It is

a racist idea to say that when blacks get together, it is in hatred of whites,

" he added.

Don't internalize their criticism

,” he advised the students.

They are unfair, absurd and they are fundamentally anti-union

”.

Because for him, "

this is the bottom line, today the Unef, tomorrow the CGT

".

In front of the young people, Mélenchon launched: “

Fight, fight, that's what counts, the balance of power that you will create.

If you politely ask for the beret in your hand to be fed and bailed out, nothing will happen.

These people don't care
