Jean-Luc Mélenchon asked this Friday " the cancellation of the searches " conducted including the head office of insubordinate France, Tuesday, and " the return of all that has been taken " during a press conference at the headquarters of LFI . Again denouncing a " political offensive " of " Macronie ", the leader of the rebellious insurgents rebelled against the seizure of computer equipment, agendas, private and political correspondence as well as " most intimate personal photos ", " Without any of us knowing what use it will be made of all this and why ."

" We demand the cancellation of this search and the return of everything that was taken. All that has been taken here has been illegally and must be returned to us , "insisted Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the day after his hearing by the anti-corruption police of the Oclciff in Nanterre, who were investigating his presidential campaign and on assistants of MEPs from his party. The LFI leader did not mention a judicial action.

After Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it was Friday the turn of his communications advisor Sophia Chikirou to be heard, a " scapegoat ", stormed the leader of the Rogue. " It is expected that she will be interviewed again on Monday. I ask: which other entrepreneur is treated in this way? Is this the CEO of Monsanto who would blame the glyphosate, "he taunted.

Tuesday, day of the announcement of the government reshuffle, the seats of LFI and the left party as well as the homes of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and former assistants had been raided in a very tense atmosphere, which resulted in skirmishes with the police. After these incidents, the Paris prosecutor's office opened an investigation for " threats or acts of intimidation against the judicial authority " and " violence against persons holding public authority ".

This Friday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon has once again insurgent this " political offensive " against him by " all Macronie who found his relays in instrumentalizing the police, justice and the media ." The official denounced "four days of uninterrupted bashing" as well as an " aggression to try to stumble perhaps even fall The insubordinate France ". But, he added, " if that was the purpose of the maneuver it was a total failure ", except " here and there weak minds " who " may have been impressed ".

According to him, " nowhere has there been an anti-terrorist police operation against a political party and the different people working for it, " again denouncing the series of 11 searches. " Macronie has gone into agony and makes us pay for this agony, " he said.

Criticized for three days for his angry tone and his outbursts, he admitted: " Of course we can be excessive and it may happen that here and there an error or another, " apologizing to the journalist he laughed at the southern accent, explaining that he had thought she was making fun of him.
