Hollande warns against ‘peril’ of leftist presidential candidate Mélenchon

French President François Hollande has warned voters against the ‘peril’ of far-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s political discourse, in what observers considered a veiled endorsement of centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron.


Hollande broke weeks of silence over France’s fast-approaching election during an interview published on Wednesday, telling conservative French magazine Le Point that Mélenchon was dangerous for the country, and pledging to reveal which candidate he would vote for before the second round ballot on May 7.

“There is a peril in generalisations and lies, which makes people view a candidate as a spectacle rather than focus on his programme,” Hollande said of Mélenchon. “What I tried to do, faced with all these delusions, was to allow reason to prevail.”
