Government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye makes "an obvious difference between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen" and would vote "unambiguously" for the leader of the insubordinate France if she had to choose between the two.

"I make a clear difference between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Le Pen who do not fit in the same political history, so I do not at all assimilation between one and the other," said Ms. Ndiaye Sunday on Radio J.

"Obviously I choose between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, without any ambiguity (...) In a second round of presidential elections, my choice would be very clear (...) Without a doubt, because I believe still in the Republic, and I do not believe that Marine Le Pen is one of those who can continue to support our Republic, "she said.

In that case, would she vote Mélenchon? "I vote Melenchon," she agreed. "I hope it's obvious that it has to be reciprocal."

The spokesman of the government "regrets especially" that "the state of traditional parties, historical, that is the Socialist Party or the Republicans, is such that the only alternative today to the Republic in march is the National Front (Rassemblement national, editor's note) ".

"It's a regret, because I prefer to deal with conservatives, whether from a history of the left or a history of the right, rather than dealing with the far right," he said. -she adds.
