Jean-Luc Mélenchon may have failed to qualify for the second round of the presidential election, he still has some hope of weighing in electorally in 2022.
The leader of France Insoumise now has his sights set on the month of June and the legislative elections.
And the Metropolis of Lyon has become an ideal hunting ground for Melenchonists, who can boast of having achieved excellent scores in several cities such as Lyon, Vénissieux, Vaulx-en-Velin, Saint-Priest, Bron and Villeurbanne.
Several Rhone constituencies are now considered winnable. Except that rebellious France has a problem: it lacks elected officials and personalities in Lyon.
To remedy this, airdrops are being studied.
According to Grandstand of Lyon, Jean-Luc Mélenchon would thus consider sending his son-in-law Gabriel Amard to the 6th circo, that of Villeurbanne. Regional councilor of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes after being elected in Isère in the summer of 2021 on the merged lists of Fabienne Grébert (EELV), the companion of Maryline Mélenchon was the mayor of Viry-Châtillon (1995-2006).
So far, his airdrops concocted by France Insoumise have been failures: he was an unsuccessful candidate in the last legislative elections in the Jura then in the municipal elections of 2020 in Villeneuve-d’Ascq in the North.
Will his tour of France end successfully in Villeurbanne? In the event of an alliance with the left and the withdrawal of the ecologist and communist candidacies, it is a safe bet that any rebellious candidate would be elected there next June.
