In the Mermoz room, overwhelmed by heat, Jean-Luc Mélenchon came, Tuesday, June 14 at the end of the afternoon, uncheck his arrows and his mockery against Emmanuel Macron and his Renning party- “Ah well, because they were dead?”, He immediately launched. In front of around 1,300 people inside, and 300 on the external steps, the leader of the new Ecological and Social People’s Popular Union (Nuts) evolves almost in conquered country in Toulouse.

The chief of the left coalition used to come to this city between the two towers of each ballot. In 2017, there were more than 50,000 on the Prairie des Filters, on the edge of the Garonne, to come and listen to it. The leader of the “rebellious” makes important scores in Toulouse: almost 37 % in the first round of the presidential election this year. For this ballot, Jean-Luc Mélenchon has another reason to come to Toulouse: the result in the first round of the ten candidates invested by the Nuts, who find themselves qualified in the second round in the entire constituencies of the Haute-Garonne.

Stigmatizing a “neoliberalism that has gone bankrupt” and warning “chaos that will come from climate change”, it has drawn up a state of the world to which the Nuts brings the “most credible, encrypted, adapted responses”. “I am not saying that we are perfect, but at least we know where we are going. For us, it is the most precious human being,” he said.
