And Jean-Luc Mélenchon enters the dance.
The candidate of La France Insoumise observed the twists and turns of the day between Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour.
While the first had accepted Robert Ménard's invitation to a
"dinner"
, the polemicist had declined, instead calling on the RN candidate to debate with him.
Faced with this Mi'kmaq, Jean-Luc Mélenchon proposed Friday afternoon on Twitter:
“If there is a survivor at the Le Pen and Zemmour picnic, he could accept a debate with me.
That way, we will finally hear a reasoned response to their delirium,
”he proposed.
"Since the time that I claim it, finally!"
Eric Zemmour, tipped to be a presidential candidate, responded favorably ten minutes later:
"Since the time that I claim it, finally!"
.
Last June, the polemicist had already invited Jean-Luc Mélenchon
"to come and discuss"
,
"instead of belching alone on Twitter"
.
The LFI deputy of Marseille was indignant at the time of the words of Eric Zemmour who had declared that Emmanuel Macron had
"what he deserves"
after receiving a slap during a trip.
In the entourage of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it is however pointed out that the Insoumis had refused, not to debate, but to come in the program "Face à l'Info" on CNEWS in which Eric Zemmour participates.
In recent days, the two men have challenged each other from a distance on the notion of
"creolization"
defended by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
“'Great replacement' and 'creolization' are synonymous terms. It is the same phenomenon that we describe. Simply the first say: 'it is a disaster', the second say 'it is magnificent' ”
, judged Éric Zemmour Tuesday on CNEWS.
Two days earlier, at the conclusion of the summer schools of La France Insoumise in Valence, the LFI candidate had explained to him that
"creolization is not a choice, a policy, it is a fact"
.
"Isn't Eric Zemmour himself, because of his origins, the result of French-style creolization?"
, he had questioned. Disagreements that should animate the debate - if it takes place. It would not be the first time, however, since the two have already debated twice together in 2014.
