The far-left candidate for the presidency of France, Jean-Luc Melanchon: "The presidential elections are not a beauty contest, except, of course, if we won the first round. It is a platform for common issues, and therefore it is a transition program to a new form of society because this is how we lay the concrete foundations for it in response to pressing issues. Capitalism is an urgent issue and therefore the radical left is extremely determined. Now, let me tell you about New France. Contemporary France is a new world. Everyone knows we don't like the map. It's about money. We don't like France for one reason: either you like it the way it is or you don't. But we love her. The new France, this new world is of generations of all ethnic origins, of women in leadership positions, which was not the case when the current constitution was adopted, of a massive urbanized and educated population as never seen before, this is the creolization of France, of all music, of all cultures! This new France marches forward with pride and I ask her never to lower her eyes! " BFM.
