“Emmanuel Macron is the most poorly elected president of the Fifth Republic.
His presidential monarchy survives by default,” reacted Jean-Luc Mélenchon, after the announcement of the results of the second round of the presidential election, in a public statement.
The ex-candidate of the Popular Union, beaten in the first round, quickly cast opprobrium on the victory of Emmanuel Macron.
From an accounting point of view;
the assertion of the one who failed at the gates of the final on the evening of the first round is obviously erroneous since Emmanuel Macron, with a score around 42% of the registered, does better than Jacques Chirac in 1995 (39.43%), François Hollande in 2012 (39.08%) or Georges Pompidou in 1969 (37.51%).
But Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who considers the outgoing president "poorly elected" probably wants to recall that some voters of Emmanuel Macron have above all sought to block Marine Le Pen.
The legislative, "3rd round" of the presidential
The LFI deputy above all tried to mobilize his electorate for what he called the “3rd round” of the presidential election.
“Round 3 starts tonight.
You can beat Mr. Macron and choose another path,” he insisted.
"Another world is still possible if you elect a majority of deputies from the Popular Union which must expand," said the former socialist, who appealed with his foot to the other left-wing parties defeated in the first round.
“The Popular bloc is now the third estate that can change everything, chained the leader of France Insoumise.
On June 12 and 19, by calling on you to elect me as Prime Minister, you will choose a new common future for our people, ”he further specified at the podium.
