"
I am willing to commit
" to organizing a referendum on nuclear "
if the Communists ask me as a condition for us to have a common candidate
," said Jean-Luc Mélenchon on France Inter / France Info / Le Monde. "
I am ready to say: yes, we will have a referendum for or against nuclear power
", he added, questioned on a potential rapprochement with the PCF candidate Fabien Roussel.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants to exit nuclear power by 2045, while Fabien Roussel prefers the establishment of “
an energy mix
” with “
nuclear and renewable
”. Jean-Luc Mélenchon also reiterated his disagreement with the organization of a primary on the left to designate a single candidate for the Elysee, recalling that this scenario had only happened "
twice, in 1965 and 1974
".
He felt that the left-wing candidates have too different projects: "
We do not agree on fundamental questions
", repeated the member of Bouches-du-Rhône. Proof put forward by Jean-Luc Mélenchon: "
polls and surveys show that we do not add up
". "
It is up to the voters to decide,
" he concluded. According to him, the proposal of the socialist Anne Hidalgo "
is of total hypocrisy
", considering that she "
does not seek union but an emergency exit
" to a failed campaign. The presidential election, “
it's not a game!
", He launched, while Yannick Jadot and Fabien Roussel also refused, at this stage, theoffer from Mrs. Hidalgo.

Remontada of France
" "
n ' not stop telling versions to his sauce
”on the content of their exchange.
Arnaud Montebourg had assured to have told Jean-Luc Mélenchon that "
if the extreme right wins, you will bite your fingers
".
"
All that is in my eyes quite pitiful
", dropped the rebellious candidate to the address of the former Minister of the Economy.
