It is a parachuting coupled with an inheritance. Manuel Bompard will be the candidate of the new Ecological and Social People’s Popular Union (Nuts) in the 4 e district of Bouches-du-Rhône, whose outgoing deputy was until then Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Speaking outdoors in front of several hundred people, Thursday, April 12, in front of his Marseille permanence, the leader of rebellious France put an end to the suspense surrounding his candidacy. In the midst of a speech where he declined what his policy would be as Prime Minister, he announced that he did not imagine and inducted the man who was his campaign director during the presidential election.

The 4 e district of Bouches-du-Rhône, which includes working-class neighborhoods in downtown Marseille and extends over the first three districts of the city and part of the 5 E
é> and 6 E DIFFICATIONS, is a land acquired on the left. In the first round of the presidential election, Mr. Mélenchon obtained 54.4 % of the vote there. In 2017, in full wave La République en Marche, he was elected in duel against an LRM candidate with nearly 60 % of the votes, then spilling his place to the socialist deputy Patrick Mennucci.
Criticized for his lack of investment in his constituency, Jean-Luc Mélenchon took his local triumph during the presidential election as a sweet revenge. Manuel Bompard, 36, European deputy since 2019, had already come in recent months to take his marks in the Marseille district. Sunday April 11, he thus accompanied his leader during his vote before, a few days later, to come and debate with local activists.
