"
I don't believe that this campaign is boring
," he told reporters as he scouted the venue for the meeting on Prado beach.
“
It is fascinating, never have there been so many subjects of such magnitude on the table.
Afterwards, if people have nothing to say, that's their problem, but I have to say
, ”he added.
The rebellious candidate, in third position in most polls with a dynamic between 12.5 and 15%, insisted: "
It is certainly the most interesting campaign of the three that I have carried out (with 2012 and 2017, Ed), because of the subjects.
It's a historic moment, I don't know if the French feel it or not
.
For him, "
the questions of pensions, war, peace, alliances, that pushes you to think, that's good
".
"This one, I'm going to win it, I feel good about it"
The MP for Bouches-du-Rhône observed: "
President
Macron
has positioned a social debate, we are not going either - after having said 50 times that he wanted to debate nothing - when he puts a subject, do not treat seriously!
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, however, judged that "
President Macron is not there
" and that at certain speeches "
he gave the impression of sending a formality
".
Asked about Marine Le Pen, who is ahead of him by a few points and with whom he could compete for a place in the second round, he replied: "
She too is her third campaign, she too has built something over time, the proof she resisted the onslaught of Mr.
Zemmour
.
And she's not her father.

He wondered: “
I don't understand how she manages to progress without campaigning, we have to pick it up with our teeth every meter of land
”.
“
This one, I'm going to win it, I feel good about it.
I'm right in front of the mouse hole, you're going to have surprises, that's for sure
, ”enthused the tribune.
“
Who could have thought that the right-wing candidate would be going on such a roller coaster?
Lots of things are happening.
And me, you saw me coming out of the catacombs?
“, he quipped in reference to the poor scores of LFI in the intermediate elections.
