Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the LFI -

As with each of his interventions on the government, Jean-Luc Mélenchon took out the sulphate, and this time, it was the management of the coronavirus that scalded his nerves.

The leader of La France insoumise said on Sunday that "nothing [had] been organized" to deal with a second wave of the Covid-19 epidemic.

“The truth is that nothing was organized,” said Jean-Luc Mélenchon on BFMTV.

"There are no extra beds, there is not the staff that we would need".

"And we hoped that it would happen," he continued, citing "the reasoning of those who say to themselves" the population must auto-immunize by dint of catching it, it will generate antibodies and therefore l 'epidemic will decline as is the case with influenza "".

Oh so expensive tests

As the journalist pointed out to him that this is not the strategy chosen by France, the deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône considered that "it looks like it".

"When nothing is organized, you say 'why?', You cannot start from the idea that they are incapable, you say to yourself 'they have an idea in their head'", he added. .

For the leader of the Insoumis, “it all smacks of shambles”.

He notably raised the issue of testing.

"How do we do in France to pay 73 euros, billed to the Social Security, that we will ruin in two steps three movements with a similar method, to give results after seven days, which from there no longer serve to nothing ?

», He asked.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon again said he feared "the way in which the population would take new extremely strict containment measures".
