It's hardly a condemnation... They reiterated that they consider the accusations to be very serious, and are not casting doubt or whether the decision is unjust. They do emit doubts about the timing of it, but for political gains.
Mélenchon's strategy has been for a while to get voters from both the ghettos and from Le Pen's pool of supposedly unhappy but not racist voters. That's again what they're doing here: painting themselves as more respectable [0] than the far right while shitting on Macron / the current establishment.
[0] As opposed to the far right, their ranks aren't filled with people who have been convicted for antisemitism, and the sheer amount of fraud cases in there also speaks for itself...
- mmooss 2y ago> They do emit doubts about the timing of it What's wrong with the timing? Isn't the election in 2027?
- Georgelemental 2y agoIt makes her ineligible for that election
- mmooss 2y agoYes, but it's not as if Le Pen has been nominated and there is a week until the election. If 'bad timing' is any time in the 5 years before, the term becomes meaningless.
