Arnaud Montebourg is not a prophet in his country. Sunday, in "The Grand Jury LCI-RTL-
Le Figaro
",
the former minister shocked a large part of the left by proposing to block private money transfers through the Western Union company, to countries that refuse to repatriate their nationals targeted by an expulsion order from the territory in order to "hit the wallet". This Monday evening, the apostle of "the remorada.fr" lost among his most loyal supporters: the Youth for Montebourg have decided to no longer support the left-wing presidential candidate after his exit on Sunday.
The "Young people with Montebourg" have visibly deleted their account (which had nearly 2,000 subscribers).

"The Young for Montebourg are withdrawing from the campaign of Arnaud Montebourg" they write in a terse press release. “This proposal had never been transmitted or mentioned, formally or informally, to the members of the Jeunes pour Montebourg, before our engagement and until yesterday,” lament the JPMs. “This proposal fundamentally conflicts with our values ​​and the reasons for our commitment: it is unfair and inhuman, affecting individuals who have no connection with the OQTFs issued by the administration or with the governments targeted by Arnaud Montebourg. It strikes the most precarious, with no other justifications than that of a standoff with third countries, ”underlines the press release drawing a parallel with an idea of ​​Marine Le Pen.
The former minister backpedaled this Monday and assured himself to have "poorly expressed" after his proposal: "I meant: Now we will have to type in the portfolio of States.
"(...)" I did not want to target people, I wanted to target States (...) They are the ones involved.
".
A mea culpa which therefore did not convince the JPM.
"We will not refer to another candidate"
“France exists through its values ​​of humanity, freedom and fraternity.
In the name of its values, it must assure those who have left their loved ones that they can continue, from their host country, to support them in facing difficult situations.
The words of Arnaud Montebourg this evening on the Audition Publique program do not convince us.
This is not for us a misunderstanding, but a mistake, ”they tackle.
Contacted by Le Parisien, the group, boasting 150 active members, confirmed its position and also added that "we no longer have a reason to exist so we have deleted the group's Twitter account".
"We will not refer to another candidate," also added a representative of the former political entity.
