The rebellious deputy Alexis Corbière in a meeting in Caen, to launch the campaign of Jean-Luc Mélenchon
The rebellious deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis Alexis Corbière was visiting among his supporters in Caen on Saturday January 15, to launch the presidential campaign of Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) in Calvados. During a public meeting at the Folie-Couvrechef neighborhood centre, the MP had the opportunity to come back to various points of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s program for the 2022 presidential election.
In the audience, between 50 and 100 sympathizers, activists or even curious people came to find out on the program of France Insoumise for the presidential election. “Retirement at 60, the fight against violence against women, the ecological fight and even the proposal for a 6th Republic, all these ideas correspond to my opinions“, believes Clémence, convinced by the presentation.
We live in a violent society, where far-right ideas are trivialized.
There is also fed up with many activists : “We live in a violent society, where far-right ideas, such as those of Marine Le Pen or Eric Zemmour, are trivialized in discussions, laments Magalie, whereas with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, we really have a feeling of hope for the future, conveyed by the humanist ideas that he defends.”
Some curious people also came to find out, “to form my own opinion, to confront me with political ideas other than mine“explains Gaspard, who claims to be more left-wing than Mélenchon’s party.”It was very interesting, these are values that I share and which, like ecology, seemed essential to me today., believes Manon.
A campaign “on the ground”
The spokespersons of rebellious France, like Alexis Corbière, are increasing the number of public meetings of this type, “to meet activists, in the field, to raise awareness among people who might hesitate or who wish to discover the program of France Insoumise, explains Alexis Corbière, that’s how we integrated a real campaign, with a program, ideas and by going to find people.“
The evening ended with a signing session from the last book of the rebellious deputy, Jacobins.
