"Don't give any voice to Marine Le Pen".
The words of Jean-Luc Mélenchon at the end of the first round of the presidential election were very clear.
The tone was set by the rebellious candidate, and yet part of his electorate decided not to follow his directive and vote for the extreme right in the second round.
Report in Pantin, where Jean-Luc Mélenchon came out on top with 54% of the vote.

And yet, part of his electorate decides not to follow his directive and to vote for the extreme right in the second round.

A vote against Macron
Sitting on one of the benches in Stalingrad Park, Valérie enjoys the sun, a book in her hand.
A convinced Mélenchonist, she voted for the rebellious candidate last Sunday.
But on April 24, she will vote Marine Le Pen.
"Because in terms of opinions, there are things with which I don't agree at all with Emmanuel Macron. Everything he has done in five years... I don't think it's good" , she confides at the microphone of Europe 1.
“Europe impoverishes us”
Like Valérie, Frédéric voted for Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round, and will vote for Marine Le Pen in the second.
This musician of about fifty years wants to reverse the table.
For him, the parties that have succeeded in power have not been able to solve the problems of the French.
"The themes that Madame Le Pen defended twenty years ago are still topical. This means that the problems have not been resolved before. And I am a little against the mechanism of Europe. I think that the 'Europe is impoverishing us,' he says.
