Monday evening, all it took was a message on X for Jean-Luc Mélenchon to trigger the anger of environmentalists. “The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell announces that the European Union will not ultimately suspend its aid to the Palestinians due to the disagreement expressed by several countries on this subject. This proves that all of Europe does not follow Macron, the PS, EELV, LR and the RN in their unilateral support for the Israeli far-right government,” wrote L’Insoumis, at the end of a day where he had insulted on several occasions by socialist representatives.
So far silent on Mélenchon’s outings after the Hamas attacks in Israel, environmentalists have had little taste of finding themselves associated with the extreme right. “Now that’s enough,” thundered the former boss of EELV, David Cormand, in response. “The Greens are among those who denounced the non-concerted announcement of the suspension of European aid to Palestine. With success. Your successive amalgams are an endless shipwreck permanently out of step with the ongoing tragedy,” continued the MEP, very critical of Mélenchon.
A surge of tension within the Nupes
Yannick Jadot, brand new senator from Paris, is also out of his depth. “After complacency in the face of terrorism and sorting between the “good” and “bad” victims of attacks, now the litany of insults, lies and conspiracy. So far from our collective responsibility… Distressing! », vilified the former presidential candidate.
Reactions revealing a surge in tension within the Nupes. “The Insoumis hastened to publish a press release (Saturday) which can be shared but in which an essential element is missing: the condemnation of Islamic terrorism,” indicates an environmentalist executive. Enough to widen the gap that separates the two formations. “We no longer want to see each other at the moment because of the diehards on each camp,” sums up, wearily, an EELV deputy.
