What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani discusses Jean-Luc Mélenchon mainly in connection with current politics. His judgement is nuanced and shifts somewhat over time. In 2012, a participant places him among those who dream of a return to the welfare state1, and Dominique Pagani faults him for going in "with a flower in his rifle" on Libya before correcting himself2. He later credits him with several merits: understanding the German problem3 and reclaiming the French tricolour flag, which had almost become Marine Le Pen's emblem4. In 2024, he considers him the best orator in the political field, far from the worst, but regrets that he never criticised Mitterrand5. He calls the accusation of antisemitism made against him a betrayal of trust, tied to his insistence on the carnage in Gaza67. He also disputes his being labelled far left while the real far right is treated gently8, and he points to the caricature of a Bolshevik with a knife between his teeth9. In 2026, he finds La France insoumise more sympathetic because of its positions on Gaza10.
