"Mélenchon s’adresse à une fraction de l’électorat, pas à tous les Français"

Natacha Polony, a guest on the radio show "Les Grandes Gueules" on May 4th, discussed the release of her book "La France corps et âme" (France Body and Soul) and hinted at a possible candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. She stated that she is receiving an increasing number of calls for political engagement, while emphasizing that "it's not a game" and that such a decision carries "immense responsibility." She also commented on Jean-Luc Mélenchon's candidacy, deeming it predictable and criticizing a strategy, in her view, aimed at structuring a power dynamic in politics by relying on younger generations. Finally, she lamented a democratic crisis and a lack of coherence in French political debate, calling for a "shared narrative" to revitalize the country. 01:02 Natacha Polony on Jean-Luc Mélenchon's presidential candidacy: "He's using younger generations to eliminate those in the slightly older generations who could take his place. It's working very well; it's called Maoism. There's a process of fracturing the national community at play." 06:54 Question from Emmanuel de Villiers to Natacha Polony: "Liberty, equality, fraternity... Don't you think we need to change the motto to something that better reflects the truth of France?" 12:46 Question from Flora Ghebali to Natacha Polony: "There's no certainty for 2027. Your book is very political: do you plan to go into politics?" 17:28 Natacha Polony: "I have consistency, and unfortunately, French politics today lacks consistency! We need a narrative, a framework." 📻📺📲 News-Talk-Sport / Radio-TV-Digital | ⏰🎙👥 Our shows: #ApollineMatin #GGRMC #EstelleMidi ▶️ All videos are available on the RMC app https://bit.ly/3l0watr Follow us on social media Facebook -   / rmcinfo   Twitter -   / rmcinfo   Instagram -   / rmc_off
