Water in the gas between Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Olivier Véran?

Thursday, the two politicians were to be on the poster for the political show of France 2. Finally, only the Minister of Health was present.

A few hours before, the leader of rebellious France had indicated, on social networks, that he would not go, as spotted by

La Dépêche du Midi

.

The reason ?

A change in the program of the show: Jean-Luc Mélenchon felt that it had not been respected by the France 2 team.

Political shows must respect their guests.



On the public service, the opponents also have rights.



Castex, Macron, # Véran following on # France2.



We are not their decor. # VALP

"I had to make the opening to respond to Macron last night, announces the member for Marseille on Facebook and Twitter.

Another fell into place at the last minute.

France 2 says that it is at the request of Minister Véran.

I do not believe that.

This is the result of the mess and bad practices of this team about which all the invited politicians have complained.

"

Olivier Véran and Jean-Luc Mélenchon do not appreciate each other, to put it mildly.

In recent days, they have particularly scrambled on social networks on the Covid-19 epidemic.

With figures: the rebellious deputy affirmed that a majority of the contamination clusters were in the world of work or university.

The Minister of Health replied that all the contaminations do not take place in clusters, that it even represents only a small part of them.

60% of clusters, that means 10% of identified contaminations.

You confuse clusters and diagnostics.

Too bad to argue at a time when we want to preserve education, safeguard jobs, and fight effectively against this epidemic in the interest of the French.
