While visiting the Vencorex factory in Isère, which is facing the threat of liquidation, Jean-Luc Mélenchon criticized Emmanuel Macron and the government. "Are you aware... that we are in the process of dismantling the very means we have to act and maintain our sovereignty? You want to go around lamenting that you’re preparing for a wartime economy, even rearming? With what? With whom? With what production capacity?" says Melenchon. SOUNDBITE
