Jean-Luc Mélenchon signed a violent exit on January 28 against the "
rich
" who, according to him, would "secession" in the country.
“
You see it with the way in which they speak to you
”, explained the leader of the Insoumis who came to speak in Villiers-le-Bel, alongside the Insoumis deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo who addressed his wishes to the militants.
“
This class contempt is a signal of the existence of a social category which, little by little, no longer even hesitates to display its parasitism
,” continued the former presidential candidate.
Then, while ensuring not to make it “
a personal matter ”, Jean-Luc Mélenchon directly targeted the CEO of LVMH Bernard Arnault, the first billionaire in the world in 2022 with his family according to
Forbes
magazine
.
"
We have in our country the worst offense
," he denounced, adding on Twitter that "
yes, the rich are responsible for the misfortune of the poor
".
"Immoral"
Still targeting Bernard Arnault, Jean-Luc Mélenchon lamented that he had not invented "
something useful to other human beings
" such as "
the vaccine against cancer or a super train
".
"
He didn't invent anything, he bought bankrupt boxes, he sorted through them, he kept the pretty pieces
," he continued.
"
He sells luxury, that is to say something that is strictly useless, just to say 'you have seen I am an important person'
".

Jean-Luc Mélenchon then ventured into a more general critique of accumulation.
“
Hoarding money ” is an “
immoral
” act
.
“
What is accumulated?
What we took from others
”, denounced the leader of France Insoumise who declared in March 2022, at the time of his candidacy for the supreme magistracy, a real estate heritage of 1.4 million euros.
The Nupes are beginning to be accustomed to this kind of hunt for great fortunes.
Recently, it was the ecologist Marine Tondolier who reacted by making the wish for a France “
without billionaires
”.
During the meeting against the pension reform, the national secretary of the ecologists indeed clearly stated this claim.
“
We no longer want a France of billionaires
,” she hammered to the applause of the thousand people present for the event.
In commentary, his rebellious colleague and close to Jean-Luc Mélenchon Manuel Bompard went even further.
"
In a country in which there are ten million poor people, twelve million people who live in situations of fuel poverty (...), being a billionaire in France today is immoral
", added the deputy from Marseille.
