Uh, some French people and sometimes some elected officials say that if the National Rally wins next spring, they will not recognize the result.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=11) How do you anticipate that? Who says that?

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=16) We've heard it a lot, uh— I've seen and heard it on placards at the demonstrations. And at least one elected official from La France Insoumise has said it. But, uh, it's something you can hear.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=29) Well then, uh, they need to move. They shouldn't be in a democracy.

[0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=34) They should go settle in Iran, for example, uh, or I don't know, Venezuela, where Mr. Mélenchon's ideas are in power. So if today far-left political movements refuse to recognize, uh, the the outcome of the ballot box in advance,

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=49) first, that's an interesting admission because it means they've already lost.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=52) And in reality, Mr. Mélenchon's objective isn't to become President of the Republic, it's civil war in France. There you go.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=57) And all his statements, his entire attitude, all the conduct of the elected officials of La France Insoumise who, uh, I, I remind you, acknowledge violence as sometimes being legitimate, adding that the end justifies the means.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=71) That, was Ms. Alma Dufour extending the, the prose of the mayor of Saint-Denis, uh, attest to the fact that they acknowledge that they've already lost the elections.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=81) And so, in reality, all they have left is violence, all they have left is insurrection. Uh, these remarks are deeply irresponsible.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=89) So, if some leaders of France Unbowed do not wish to acknowledge the election results, that means they do not recognize France's uh, republican system and its democratic institutions.

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8MLqfRepV0Zj/en/rn-election-victory-politician-accuses-m%C3%A9lenchon-of-seeking-civil-war?t=100) Then, at that point, they need to change countries, they need to go and settle in Venezuela, North Korea or, uh, Iran, for example.
