After the left-wing's election success in France, all eyes are now on radical firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon who has demanded the left be given the premiership.
After the left-wing's election success in France on Sunday, all eyes are now on radical firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon who has demanded the left be given the premiership and a chance to govern following its unexpected election win.The New Popular Front coalition — of which Mélenchon is the self-appointed figurehead — won the largest number of seats in the second round of France's snap parliamentary election.
Emboldened by the unexpected election victory, Mélenchon — who in the past has praised late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, said he'd take France out of NATO and proposed 100% tax rates on France's super-wealthy — insisted the new prime minister should come from the left wing alliance.Jean-Luc Melenchon of the French far left Parti de Gauche and candidate for the 2017 French presidential election, attends a political rally in Dijon, France, April 18, 2017.
"Even in a scenario where the NFP were to agree on a figure and Macron appointed such an individual, the AN could then easily force a collapse of the new government via a no-confidence motion," Barroso added.
