Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of rebellious France, was with his activists at La Défense today. He presented his popular union parliament, a common house intended to house left-wing figures beyond his own political family. With a stated objective: the second round of the presidential election.
It was a real show of force that took place at La Défense this afternoon.
More than 4,000 people came to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who presented the 200 parliamentarians of his movement, including Jean-Marc Schiappa, historian and father of Minister Marlène Schiappa, but also Aurélie Found, spokesperson for Attac.
In short, a mixture of politics and civil society to alleviate the impossible union of the left for the presidential election of 2022. Mélenchon dreams of a union of the partisan base.

Attacks on his opponents
Then, the left-wing tribune attacked his political opponents, accusing Emmanuel Macron of having enriched the rich, destroying the hospital and schools, but also of not respecting democracy. Eric Zemmour, too, takes it for his rank. "We have come to say no, France is not the extreme right," he asserted. The leader of the Insoumis also taps for a very long time on Valérie Pécresse and had a message for her: "When the last river will have been poisoned, when the last fish will have been caught, then Mrs. Pécresse, we will know that the money cannot be eaten. "
The economy is the key argument of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's project.
This afternoon it was quite a symbol, in the middle of the largest business district in Europe.
He warned international capitalism: "If we break the chain of capitalism in France, it will give way all over the world."
