“Every time Jean-Luc goes abroad, the majority utters cries of orchards! Pretends to be surprised those around Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who have been traveling since Sunday and for two weeks in Latin America.

A "wink", recognizes a relative of the candidate, credited by the latest polls with the most important score on the left for 2022. Yannick Jadot, who will bring together the entire left on Saturday, knew that the Insoumis would be represented, but that Mélenchon would be absent.

"It was complicated to wait for his return planned at the end of the month," assumes a close friend of the green MEP.
