At Sunday’s rally, Melenchon promised to guarantee jobs for everyone, raise the minimum wage, lower the retirement age to 60 and hike taxes on multinationals and rich households. His campaign platform calls for France to pull out of NATO, disobey EU rules, legalize cannabis, renationalize some businesses, block energy price rises, and spend more on fighting racial and other discrimination.
While other candidates are railing against migration, Melenchon said migrants are “welcome” in France, calling immigration the “No. 1 factor” in human progress.
He also proudly called Russia a “partner,” even as European governments are scrambling to find ways to avert a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.
And he had little kindness for his rivals on the left.
“We don’t need union. We need clarity and people’s mobilization,” he said. “I’m not their friend.”
