The presidential candidate of La France insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, was at the engineering school Centrale de Nantes last night for a conference.

The deputy is increasing the number of trips to universities and schools, places where a large part of his electorate in 2017 is located. In the first round, he won a quarter of the votes of 18-34 year olds according to an Opinionway study.

However, the more than 300 young people present last night do not seem really won over to this candidate.
