MICHAEL SARDOU. Jean-Luc Mélenchon replied to singer Michel Sardou who said he was “ready to leave France”, if the leader of La France insoumise was appointed Prime Minister.
It’s a duel that we didn’t see coming: Mélenchon against Sardou. The popular singer, in the columns of Paris Match, had given his point of view on the upcoming legislative elections. But it was his comment on the candidate of La France insoumise which had aroused the greatest number of comments. “Mélenchon is always in excess. Now he declares himself Prime Minister. Attention, danger! If he wins, I get out. Or else I declare Normandy a duchy and I put up barriers everywhere”, launched Michel Sardou.
A short sentence that did not fail to make people talk, until the morning of franceinfo this Friday, June 3. Guest of Marc Fauvelle, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was questioned on the question. “I don’t know why he wants to leave. There are a lot of French people who love him. He is part of the heritage. He likes it or he doesn’t like it, but that’s how it is. And then himself, he loves his country”, underlined in particular the leader of LFI.
And to add: “Mr. Sardou, don’t leave, stay, we love you too much and you love your country too much. Remember Danton’s sentence: you don’t take your homeland on the soles of your shoes!”
