Mélenchon wants "debates that take your breath away"
“The strategy is that of general anesthesia.
The president says to himself that we are not intervening in anything like that, no controversy and the people who vote traditionally will come and vote, ”reproaches Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
"But it's very clever on the part of Mr. Macron.
(…) It's up to us to be smarter, to bring about debates, yes, mind-blowing debates”.

Mélenchon for a “tranquility” police
"What was the 21-year-old guilty of?
She is the wife of whom, she has children?
We don't talk about it.
The only thing we say is
Mélenchon is wrong
, ”reacts Jean-Luc Mélenchon, speaking of the young woman fatally injured on Saturday in Paris.
"It's not normal that we kill someone because he refuses to comply" and, he recalls, the driver's heavy liabilities were not known when the police opened fire up to passengers on the car who refused to comply.
“When the police have the only response, after the death of young people on the Pont-Neuf, to demonstrate against justice, there we have a factious behavior, he defends.
He assures that "many police officers come to see (him)" to express their discomfort with the methods.

Mélenchon questioned about his remarks about the police
“The police kill, the shame is when,” wrote Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Sunday.
“Obviously, it is my duty” to assume these remarks, affirms the leader of Nupes on France Inter.
“I say that it is not normal that someone is killed because he refuses to comply;
there is the law, punishments, fines but not the death penalty.
(…) “I raised the tone, and I got what I want: people know that there is a political leader who does not accept the doctrine of the use of police force in place in our country ".
“Four deaths in four months, a shameful device at the Stade de France and we are the laughingstock of the world…”, he recalls.
“It is necessary to stop this escalation, otherwise we will be the United States of America.
I am for a peacekeeping police - a local police -, a lot of judicial police to dismantle trafficking, ”he lists.
