Leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon said his party’s third-place candidates would withdraw from three-way runoffs to help prevent the far-right from seizing power.

    The thing with Mélenchon is that he’s real flaky on Ukraine to the point of plausibly supporting Putin in his invasion. He has weird positions, he doesn’t support Putin’s domestic policy, yet he supports the annexation, but not the war.

    I wonder if Macron stepping back when Mélenchon inches ahead will mean France will basically pull out of supporting Ukraine altogether.
