Less than two months before the presidential election, Jérôme Jaffré deciphered the French political landscape at the microphone of Europe 1.

The political scientist and founder of Cecop notably detailed how Jean-Luc Mélenchon uses his talents as a speaker during his meetings to meet his supporters.

From Marine Le Pen to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Jérôme Jaffré scrutinizes the presidential campaign.

Guest of the morning of Europe 1 this Monday, the political scientist delivered his vision of the campaign of the candidates vying for 2022. And praised the talents of orator of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. 

"Jean-Luc Mélenchon's talent as a speaker is exceptional," said Jérôme Jaffré.

“The denunciation of capitalist billionaires in the first half hour is a piece of oratorical anthology. The calculation that what billionaires earn under the pandemic in a year, in a month, in a day, in an hour, in one minute, in one second. Compared to the number of employees who earn 2,000 euros per month. That said, Mélenchon is especially good at denouncing. "

Mélenchon's program

Jérôme Jaffré, however, called for caution on the substance of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's remarks and his proposals for 2022. In particular in terms of taxation of the wealthiest French people.

"The risk of simplism is quite great when it comes to presenting your program," said the founder of the Center for Studies and Knowledge on Public Opinion (Cecop).

"When you have Mélenchon explaining to you, 'I spend a lot of money and spend in all directions because it has to be. Social needs are enormous, of course, but since these people consume and pay taxes, then I get the quarter back and put it back in the economy.'

There, we had the feeling all the same that the game of bonneteau (note: game of fools) was a little fast.
