While the list of candidates for the 2022 presidential election is not yet clear everywhere, things are becoming clearer on the left. By appointing Yannick Jadot as a candidate in recent weeks, EELV has clearly moved away from a union of candidates to the left of the PS, where Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) and Fabien Roussel (PCF) have long been launched. Voting intentions for Jean-Luc Mélenchon today stand between 7 and 8%, according to an Ifop-Fiducial poll for Le Figaro and LCI published on Monday. The same survey places Fabien Roussel between 1.5 and 2.5%.
It is with this balance of power in mind that Adrien Quatennens, number two of France Insoumise, called on Fabien Roussel to rally Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Public Senate, to avoid “dispersion” and constitute a “popular bloc” against to a “green left center” of the PS and the Greens. “There may be unnecessary dispersions that can be avoided. For example, I always wonder why what was possible with the French Communist Party in 2012 and 2017 (during the last presidential elections, Editor’s note) would not be in 2022. “
An accessible second round?
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon is a few fingers away from the second round” in the polls according to Quatennens, and “the second round is accessible if the entry ticket is lowered in favor of some unforeseen events”, he added. valorize. A reference to the fall in the polls of the candidate of RN Marine Le Pen since the entry into the game of Eric Zemmour, who maintains the suspense on a possible candidacy. The polemicist is now in a pocket handkerchief with the heiress of Jean-Marie Le Pen and Xavier Bertrand, but well above the score of Mélenchon.
It is therefore necessary to gather the voters around the same candidacy for the young deputy “around the effective vote to change our institutions, share the wealth…” – that is to say the program carried by the candidate LFI.
