Jean-Luc Mélenchon judged Wednesday "a little excessive" the tone of Emmanuel Macron towards the opposition, believing to be in his role by expressing a "rational criticism" or "benevolent" and insisting on the need for planning facing Covid-19.
The leader of the Insubmissives joked about a President of the Republic whom he considered "at the end of his life" and "tired", in the aftermath of the declarations of Emmanuel Macron describing as "irresponsible" those "who are already looking to sue "while the crisis is not over.
"The main thing for us is that the government (...) is not afraid of dialogue, of criticism," added the deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône on France Info, saying that "sometimes it you have to force the line when you have the feeling of not being listened to ".
A few hours before the start of the parliamentary fact-finding mission on the management of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Mélenchon estimated that there would be "no shame" for the government to use its proposals, in particular on planning and "nationalization" of companies like Luxfer.
The Luxfer factory in Gerzat (Puy-de-Dôme), before its closure, was the only one in Europe to manufacture medical oxygen bottles.
Elected LFI, Alexis Corbière lambasted leaders on Wednesday who have "barrier gestures not to receive criticism".
"I have to be quiet because we have to trust them?" He asked on the Sud Radio antenna.
The expressions invoking "the national union" are for the deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis "trap formulas".
