Jean-Luc Mélenchon is not a stupid man. He is never going to say something completely illegal. He uses dogwhisles. And you only those dogwhisles if you are fully paying attention.
I’ll give you a few examples.
The Omar Mosque
French police raided the Mosque Omar in the 11th district of Paris.
Immediatly, Melenchon posted this on social media:
Everyone in French intelligence heard about the Omar Mosque in the 11th district of Paris. And not in a good way.
This is considered one of the most extreme mosque in France.
In fact, the Omar Mosque had this reputation for decades
Mélenchon doesn’t give a fuck. He made a tweet that spread like wildfire about the evil police humiliating muslims. He gains votes.
I’ll give you another example.
He publically accused journalist Ruth El Krief of insulting Islam/Muslims
You can criticize Ruth El Krief on a lot of things. And that’s fine. But she never insulted Islam or Muslims. Never.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon knows that. He posted this message accusing her of insulting Islam right in the beginning of the Gaza crisis. While a lot of muslims are shocked and horrified.
By publically accusing a Jewish figure of disrespecting Islam, he can appear as “the defender” of humiliated muslims. He gains many votes.
Because of his tweet, El Krief received thousands of messages threatening to cut her throat. She now lives under police protection:
