"
Hello everyone and welcome to this first forum" The common future "of the 2022 presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
"
For three hours, Jean-Luc Mélenchon lent himself to the game of an interactive program broadcast live on social networks.
Asked sometimes by speakers on the set, sometimes by citizens who appear in front of him in holograms: "
I know that you have been leading the fight for the 6th Republic for a long time now."
I would like to know why for you it is urgent and necessary to put it in place today?
"
The Sixth Republic is “the” proposal of Jean-Luc Mélenchon which explains why we must change the Constitution: “
There is a sort of massive civic strike that is imposed on us.
It is a gigantic abstention.
"
The Sixth Republic is also one of the points of dissension with the other left-wing parties, but Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not make union a priority: “
That there are several candidates is not an obstacle.
I would regret it, but it is not an obstacle to success.

On the merits, the rebellious candidate unfolds his program and positions himself as the leader of the left for 2022. On the form, he innovates with a program where the debate is punctuated by videos and even advertising to encourage the purchase of gadgets signed by his slogan "We are for" and prowls its virtual campaign.
"Today the police who act badly are never punished. We must find cohesion between all and equality in the face of justice."
