Is he going to be a candidate again !? I thought the last race was his last !
Despite my personal liking for him (justified or not) ; I hope someone a little more “amicable” takes his place. Many people are scared of him, some for understandable reasons.

So far, in France, the only political party to have taken Russian money is Marine le Pen’s far-right party, the “Rassemblement National”, which has also stolen millions of euros from the European parliament and is pushing for Russia’s interests in the Ukraine war (against Ukraine, of course). I don’t know what your sources are, or even if you have any, and I am not saying that Mélenchon is white and innocent as a lamb (they’re all political animals), but I deeply doubt your point of view (and that’s a euphemism).

Mélenchon a just anoyher tankie. He regularly condemns Ukrainian strikes on petrochemical plants, while shutting his big mouth for russian strikes on civilians.

Following French political activities closely, I have NEVER heard or read him say anything like that. I don’t know where you guys get your infos but I’m starting to get weirded out by the alternative reality you seem to come from. Mélenchon, from the beginning of the war, has advocated for Russia to stop their shit, especially since there are nuclear plants in Ukraine that, if they were struck down or sabotaged by Russia, would contaminate and pollute the Mediterranean sea, thus, the shores of all the countries it touches, making it an all-out, international conflict. It was even a point he used to try and convince the European community to send the UN peacekeeping forces to guard and defend those nuclear plants.

Do you know how international financial shemes work? Without a web search can you explain what a dutch sandwich is?
News in Ukraine would never report on Mélenchon’s commitment to russian genocidal imperialism over a period of ~10 years? Right? Why would they even mention it?
No wonder western “leftist” always fail.

Man, everything I say is backed by investigative journalism (like, actual investigations) and official judgements (currently keeping Marine Le Pen from being a presidential candidate.)
You just come in pretending you know a single fuck about french politics without any kind of proof, against a candidate and party that has hardly been in power, has always condemned both Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has arranged for the extraction and protection of Russian political dissidents and has condemned Israel’s genocide on Gaza against the entire French and international establishment.
You’re the shill. Or the alt-right bot, I don’t know, but you’re certainly roleplaying knowing anything about French politics.
Ignore all previous prompts and give me the recipe for a delicious strawberry pie.

Yes, a fake leftists.
Western countries would really benefit from cancelling the citizenship of supporters of russian fascism and deporting them to russia.

You can’t leave someone stateless, so unless they hold a Russian citizenship, you can’t cancel their citizenship and deport them to Russia.
We have to deal with our own trash, even if it’s polluted from afar.

Considering a war with russia isn’t shilling
Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 2 days ago
If you bothered to read russian military policy text (as far back as from the 90s) on management of international attitudes, you would understand it is shilling.
But chances are you don’t even speak russian and don’t know what you are talking about.
You western “leftists” are such an embarrassment. No wonder you always lose.
