So the war of succession will not take place?
In any case, this is what Jean-Luc Mélenchon promises in a blog post published on Sunday.
"Neither François Ruffin nor I will let ourselves be drawn into this circus"
, assures the triple Insoumis presidential candidate while his colleague from the Somme is revealing himself more and more.
“Naturally, this match does not exist and will never exist
,” insists the leader of the Insoumis.
In a tweet posted last week, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had already greeted François Ruffin assuring, poll in support, that his colleague was
"ready"
for the presidential election.
In the Insoumise house, many were surprised by such a dubbing so far from the deadline, to the point of seeing it as a poisoned gift.
Even François Ruffin was embarrassed:
"It's nice, but this is not the time"
, he replied on France Info.
No “fighting or competition”
“I said in all tones that I wanted to be replaced. For the elections. I haven't changed my mind”
, assures Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the meantime, certifying that his
“role is different from now on”
.
“I repeat: there will be no 'battle of succession' between me and anyone in the Insoumis movement.
In 2027, there will be an application supported by the Insoumis.
And we will go to the second round
, ”he promises.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon also does not want the
"strength"
of his movement to be
"weakened by the picture of a war of people"
.
"Especially the one I don't want to lead
," he insists.
“François Ruffin leads an ardent and successful campaign.
It expresses a political content and a line.
There can be no question for me of seeing the discussions with him transformed into a fight or competition, which would have only one result: to weaken the movement and its position in 2027
, ”he warns.
Four years from the next presidential election, the Insoumis also wishes to recall that
"there is no hurry"
.
“Are there other candidates in our ranks
?
Yes, I know it, like everyone else.
I know their value.
Time will tell if they hatch.
New faces are also emerging, again
,” he observes.
“My advice to everyone remains the same
: make yourself loved, make yourself useful to the people and to the movement.
The rest will be given to you in addition
, ”he says to his comrades.
And as in a last advice to François Ruffin:
“Despise the flatterers who give light to stir up disputes.
The media and the media class lick, drop and then lynch.
Always
”.
