A position in keeping with the “unwavering doctrine” of “one China” that France has followed since General de Gaulle in 1964, and the need to avoid a “new war front,” he argues, with the support of his forces within the LFI. The former presidential candidate, who thanked the Chinese embassy on Twitter, sparked outrage Environmentalists and socialists are members of the NupesWhile the communists, on their part, used a vocabulary similar to his.
“Nancy Pelosi’s official visit to Taiwan was a bravado. It turned out to be an inconsequential provocation in an already particularly dangerous global situation,” the PCF’s Europe & Europe segment said on Friday. But among EELV ecologists, National Secretary Julien Bayot denounced the “real irony” of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whose “view” from a geopolitical perspective seems “totally outdated”.
Regarding PS President Olivier FaureHe believes that “if Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is debatable, the will of the Taiwanese to live in a democracy is not.” Writing that “the Chinese will solve the problem among themselves”, Jean-Luc Melenchon laments that “the door to annexation is thus left open”, in an interview with Olivier Faurie.
