Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who is seen as the only left-wing candidate with a chance against far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen in the 2027 French presidential election, has sharply criticized Germany. In an interview with WELT, the left-wing populist said Germany can no longer afford arrogance. He said he is deliberately relying on division to win voters.
During the conversation, Mélenchon lost his temper when asked a question. The newspaper did not provide details on what triggered it. Mélenchon is known as a polarizing figure who stands out for his radical positions on Europe and NATO.
