Criticized, in particular by his own, after his tweets of support for Adrien Quatennens on Sunday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not seem to have any regrets.
Asked by a TMC journalist this Thursday morning, the Insoumis replied: “
I weigh my words all the time”.
He then saw fit to add, tapping the journalist's cheek menacingly: "
You're the one who regrets what you're saying
."
Internal reviews
A few moments after Adrien Quatennens' confession of acts of violence against his future-ex-wife, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had initially denounced
"police malice, media voyeurism (and) social networks"
which would have been
"guests in Adrien and Céline Quatennens' contentious divorce"
.
“Adrien decides to take it all on himself.
I salute his dignity and his courage
,” he said, raising a wave of indignation as the victim seemed to be pushed into the background.
Under pressure, the Insoumis leader had finally written a second tweet:
“Céline and Adrien are both my friends.
My affection for him does not mean that I am indifferent to Céline.
She didn't want to be quoted.
But I say: a slap is unacceptable in any case.
Adrian accepts it.
It's good
," he said.
His reactions nevertheless sowed some unease within the Nupes intergroup.
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon's tweets weren't going at all.
No doubt.
Neither the first nor the second”
, publicly deplored on Twitter the ecologist deputy Sandrine Rousseau, who wants to be on the front line in the fight against gender-based and sexual violence.
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon has a very filial, almost paternal relationship with Adrien Quatennens.
The man prevailed over the political.
He failed to
make sense
of things.
It is also the symbol of a generation where these questions were understated
,” observes a Nupes executive.
