Saturday, February 12, in Créteil, Christiane Taubira, surrounded by a few hundred young people in an intimate atmosphere, sang “My France” by Jean Ferrat and continued to call the gathering on the left. Sunday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was a thousand leagues from the former minister: in a huge exhibition center, in Montpellier, he was content with the Marseillaise for song, and a speech picking up his classics, without a word for its political rivals. Against “parasite capitalism” and for “resistance, rebel spirit, France of rebellions and revolutions”, it defended the “convoys of freedom” against the vaccinal pass as the last declination of a certain French spirit .
“Here are these” convoys of freedom “on which again repeat propaganda, insults, contempt. Of course, you have weird people, there, in the middle, and then others who are less” , he justified. In the room, every time the candidate launches “you know what we have to do?”, A facetious participant answers “cut their heads”. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, while shooting the revolutionary metaphors, having fun of his image: “You are caricatural, Mr. Mélenchon? Yes, because the situation is caricatral,” he answers himself.
A conquered and angry audience
Montpellier and its region, favorable lands to France unsuitable (LFI), even if it did not materialize in victory in the last municipal elections, provide a conquered and angry audience to the candidate of the People’s Union. François War, former CGT, “yellow vest” and opposing the sanitary pass, not vaccinated, is of those. “A meeting like this, it gives joy,” he says at the end. In the first part, the “Yellow Vest” Genevieve Legay, wounded in Nice on March 23, 2019, supported: “I do not want more macron, I do not want Le Pen, Zemmour, Pécresse, that’s why I’m here . “The former boss of South Radio, become figure of” yellow vests “, Didier Maïsto, supported” a project where the freedom can relive “, triggering” freedom, freedom “in the room. Paradox of the Meetings of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, these calls to the uprising go hand in hand with a millimeter organization, a public sitting at the so-called time, and a drastic framework. For the press, especially: the photojournalists, installed upstairs, have prohibited to circulate in the room.
At the desk, without touching the glass of water that trembles with every new Salve, Jean-Luc Mélenchon leads his boat with ease. Very satisfied with his debate with the boss of the Medef, Geoffroy Roux of Bézieux , Thursday on France 2 , it launches to the patronat: “If you do not want to work, stay at home. As you can find cheaper workers, we find cheaper bosses”, it also ensures that With planning, they will gain in “visibility” and “stability”. As in all his campaign, the candidate “insou” alternate. Maintain and collect anger on one side. On the other, refine an image of head of state, jacket and tie (red), able to speak to all. Go to C8 one day, France 2 the other. At the key, two electorates, popular classes with abstentionist trend on the one hand, a politicized and moderate left electorate on the other. Successful synthesis, as in 2017 but with some more voices, it is the hope that all nourish to LFI, believing more or less according to the interlocutors.
