Watt The Duck denounced what he presented as a new threshold crossed the day before, which he compared to the storming of the Capitol. He accused Jean-Luc Mélenchon and La France insoumise (LFI) of fostering a climate of confrontation and violence, believing that the call for calm made by Mélenchon was late and did not address his political responsibility. The author called for establishing a political cordon sanitaire around LFI and asked elected officials not to support Mélenchon's candidacy for the presidential election. He argued that elected officials were free to grant or refuse their signature, and invited citizens to contact their mayors and elected representatives to ask them not to endorse it. #StopLFI #LFICaSuffit #LFI #Démocratie #Politique (translated)
