JULIEN MUGUET / JULIEN MUGUET FOR “THE WORLD”
It is a moment among others, at the Amfis de La France insoumise, near Valence. Ali Rabeh, mayor of Trappes, support of Jean-Luc Mélenchon during the presidential campaign, observes, Saturday August 26: “We have to take care of the form, we were able to go from the Mao collar to the tie suit, from the football shirt to the shirt…” Next to him, François Ruffin and LFI MP Charlotte Leduc, on stage. In second place in the audience, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his mao collar are listening.
For an hour and a half, in a debate that is not one – the three elected officials agree on almost everything – François Ruffin sets out his strategic conviction: faced with the National Rally, ” there is a problem “. “A problem of tone, a problem of style”a problem of “permanent war on Twitter” Nupes leaders.
This is not new, the deputy for the Somme considers that for “loving” voters who are turning away from the liberal bloc, we must “reassure, bring together”. “We want to take the helm of the liner France, we tell them that the hold has a hole, that we’re in the middle of a storm, that there’s going to be a crew that’s not very experienced, and we’re arguing about the ship. To give confidence…”he measures.

What are we aiming for? »he said. “Why remain at the risk of a minority culture? »he adds.

Photo of rigor and standardization
Jean-Luc Mélenchon will not answer, it is not planned. Question time is coming, an activist believes that the latter “can be a little scary”. “Is there a chance Ruffin will ever run for president?” » The question will remain unanswered. The debate is over, Jean-Luc Mélenchon goes on stage and discusses with the Picard deputy. Long enough for photos to immortalize the two men side by side. The last images dated, Ruffin not having gone up on the scene of the meetings of the presidential one of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The ambiguous relationship between the two men is staged inside the rebellious theater, in front of the press and activists. For a long time, that was not the case. If the interested parties speak to each other, they have recently avoided doing so in public. Henceforth, the emergence of one, the “withdrawal” on the other, more or less feigned or assumed, unfold before everyone’s eyes. Not really a handover, but at least a normalization. Already before the summer, the two men had debated during a seminar open in particular to deputies and parliamentary assistants, devoted to the question of the working classes. On this subject as on the attitude to adopt to fight against RN, their opinions differ.
