"
There are two lefts who are not compatible in a first round
" of presidential election, but it takes "
a common vote
" and a "
popular union
" in the second round for the left to win in 2022, demanded Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) Sunday June 6.
If I “
jumped into the arms of Mr. Valls or Hollande, everyone would say“ those are hypocrites, that's not true, they can't be wrong ”.
That's right, we disagree on everything.
There are two lefts there who are not compatible

“
But in a second round of election, there must be a common vote.
There will be a joint vote if I am in the lead.
For the moment it is I who am in the lead in what is considered to be the left, from single to double, I allow myself to say it,
”he underlined.
A declared presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon obtains 12 to 13% of the voting intentions in recent polls, against 6 or 7% for Anne Hidalgo (PS) and 6% for Yannick Jadot (EELV) if they present themselves .
Far behind Marine Le Pen (RN, 28%) and Emmanuel Macron (LREM, from 25 to 27% of the vote), while on the right, Xavier Bertrand (ex-LR) is credited with 14%.
"The union of the left is an obstacle to the popular union"
With the PS, the Greens or the Communists, “
I know that we are separated by serious oppositions and that we cannot deny them.
We do not agree on Europe, nuclear power and the Sixth Republic
”, underlines Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
But "
to win, you need a majority, it is necessary that the popular union be achieved in the ballot box, that is to say all the people who agree with a program such as re-establishing the ISF, increasing the minimum wage. , etc ...
”.

heartbreak
