The statements of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, defended by his rebellious allies, in particular Manuel Bombard, did not resonate in the French political world. Within the left-wing coalition Nupes, PS Vice President and President Olivier Faure ruled on Twitter that “the desirability of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is questionable, and the will of Taiwanese to live in a democracy is not.”

Chance to visit N.Pelosi for #Taiwan Debatable, the Taiwanese’s desire to live in a democracy is not.

Julian Bayo, MP and EELV National Secretary, even denounced Melenchon’s comments on Twitter: “He talked about ‘provocation’ when democratic Ukraine was defending itself in the Donbass against authoritarian Russia.”

Melenchon spoke of a “provocation” when a democratic Ukraine defended itself in the Donbass against authoritarian Russia.
He talks about “provocation.” #Taiwan When … this country is acting freely against China.
A democratic country is necessarily a “provocation” of the dictatorship.

“China is a dictatorship. The Taiwanese are free to act themselves,” said David Cormand, environmental activist at EELV. While he distanced himself from the LFI captain saying: “Not in my name.”

Not in my name.
The pessimism of the diversion of letting the executioners pass on their shoulders is the eternal dialectic of dictators and the justification of their cruelty.
China is a dictatorship.
Taiwanese are free to act themselves. https://t.co/laHAaxN2BH
