Rafael Glucksmann tweets:

C’est désormais clair et net : Jean-Luc Mélenchon ne sera pas Premier Ministre vu que tous les autres partis s’y opposent. On peut maintenant se concentrer sur le véritable enjeu qui est d’empêcher que Jordan Bardella le soit, lui? Car cette hypothèse est très réaliste, elle.

In other words there is a popular front within the popular front against the pro-Putin crackpot Melenchon

Glucksman is Melanchon's mirror in terms of self-promotion and ego, whatever you think of Melanchon this is silly stuff to be talking about less than a week before an election

Sidenote: it's a shame the Tour is still in Italy today. It would have been rather interesting to see how and in what ways the national election would force it's recognition and presence into the international contest.

Their stage on the 7th will be in a very rural area with a bunch of gravel roads, in Aube, all held by the right (2 RN and one LR).
