Jean-Luc Mélenchon would see himself at Matignon
"in a month"
, he explained on Sunday to the "Grand Jury RTL-LCI-
Le Figaro
".
The leader of La France Insoumise, at the head of the union of the left for the legislative elections, thinks he can obtain a majority in the National Assembly in June.
And therefore dislodge Elisabeth Borne, just appointed Prime Minister by Emmanuel Macron.
The latter, according to him, has nothing left -
"Are you dreaming?"
– in view of her action at the Ministry of Labor between 2020 and 2022.
“She has an extremely heavy social abuse record.
She is liberal to the tips of her nails”
, he judged, recalling in particular that Élisabeth Borne
“for example abolished the status of railway workers”
and
"changed the unemployment benefit scheme"
.

Similarly, the appointment to the Ministry of National Education of Pap Ndiaye, a historian from the left, would only represent a smokescreen.
“I greeted the intellectual, the former director of the immigration museum.
Afterwards, he is on the right.
How do I know?
Because he is in a right-wing government.
When you enter a government, you apply government policy
,” he said.
According to the Insoumis, Pap Ndiaye will conduct
“exactly”
the same policy as his predecessor, Jean-Michel Blanquer.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon thus believes that the ballot of the alliance of the "New Ecologist and Socialist Popular Union" (Nupes) will be the only useful vote in June to oppose Emmanuel Macron,
“People who want to really fight and turn the page on Mr. Macron's politics, they vote Nupes.
The rest is useless”
, he insisted, redeveloping the main lines of the
“shared program”
including the Smic at 1500 euros net or the blocking of the prices of certain products.
Less than a month before the election, the Insoumis wants to be confident.
He recalls that
“the latest polls give the majority left opposition in the first round”
.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, on the other hand, did not wish to dwell on the question of the wearing of the burkini, given to the center of the news by the EELV mayor of Grenoble Éric Piolle who authorized it in the public swimming pools of the city.
His decision divides the left, in the name of the principle of secularism.
If he manages to
"get elected Prime Minister"
, the Insoumis explained that he did not want to legislate on this subject.
He preferred to be ironic:
“There is more urgent and more important.
As soon as I'm done with the drought, the nuclear shutdown, the war in Ukraine, inflation, I'll take care of the swimming pools, I promise."
More generally on the issue of the veil, Jean-Luc Mélenchon felt that France should not be
"Iran at the
"Them, they force everyone to put on a veil and we, we would force everyone to remove it?"
After saying that 2022 would be his last presidential campaign, the ex-LFI candidate was more cautious.
Even if he clarified that he did not
"want"
to relaunch in 2027, he breathed:
"Life is full of the unexpected".
