In the campaign to sit in the presidential chair at the Elysee Palace in 2022, Jean-Luc Mélenchon delivered his prophecies on Sunday.

But his reading of the future caused a very big controversy.

"You will see that in the last week of the presidential campaign, we will have a serious incident or a murder", to "point the finger at Muslims", "all that is written in advance", thus affirmed the head of file of rebellious (LFI).

(France Inter / Le Monde / Franceinfo), the presidential candidate first indicated that he wanted Emmanuel Macron "to represent himself", because "we will have something to say" on his "balance sheet" . "Otherwise, we get another little Macron out of the hat, (...) we don't know who he is, poof, he gets elected president." It is the system that invents it. The last time, Macron, he arrived at the last moment. There, they will perhaps find another ”, he continued. "In all the countries of the world, they invented a type like that, which came out of nothing, and which was carried by an oligarchic system".

If this type of talk is rather usual, the rest is much less. “As you will see that in the last week of the presidential campaign, we will have a serious incident or a murder. It was Merah in 2012 (jihadist author of the killings in Toulouse and Montauban, especially in a Jewish school), it was the attack last week on the Champs Elysées (in 2017, a jihadist murdered the police officer Xavier Jugelé), before we had Papy Voise (Paul Voise, a retiree assaulted at his home in Orléans in April 2002), whom no one has ever heard of after, ”then launches Jean-Luc Mélenchon. "We will have the little character out of the hat, we will have the extremely serious event which will once again make it possible to point the finger at Muslims and invent a civil war, there you have it, all that is wrong",concludes the deputy LFI.

Latifa Ibn Ziaten wants "respect for the victims"

The exit of Jean-Luc Mélenchon sparked a series of indignant reactions.

Latifa Ibn Ziaten, whose military son was killed by Mohammed Merad, denounced "inadmissible" remarks, demanding "respect for the victims".

"When we handle demagoguery in this way, we cannot claim to become President of the Republic", lambasted the head of the PS group in the Assembly Valérie Rabault, deeming "unacceptable" to "reduce the atrocities of the attacks in Montauban and Toulouse in 2012 to electoral scheming ”.

“We are really beyond shame,” LREM Aurore Bergé also reacted on Twitter.

“The anti-conspiracy plots are out.

They deny that the assassins are making their move when they are talked about.

Inane words.

Unless it is to cover them, "replied Jean-Luc Mélenchon, on the same social network, citing as a source of inspiration an article in Le Figaro on" the attacks and various facts which have upset the presidential campaigns ".
