Misleading title. From the article itself:
French here, he was speaking about his own terms, his entourage is defending it as "Ahah dw it was a late night joke !"
And this guy is so corrupt that it could be true, or not, it's a toss coin at this point.
One thing's for sure, it's not gonna happen anytime soon, the French deffo wouldn't let him.
I was about to say I don’t think it’s misleading but honestly on a re-read the article leaves a lot open for interpretation.
Like if you look at all of these together the article implies he’s talking about his own term limits, some unknown source presumably allied with Macron claims it was in response to Bardella, and the quote from Mélenchon could refer to either.
I couldn’t find any other context in English beyond this. I would assume he’s talking about his own limits and the responding to Bardella bit is him and his allies trying to give him political cover, but it’s genuinely unclear.
Also, one should take into account the fact that Mélenchon was not there when this was said, at 3am. In French: https://www.lefigaro.fr/politique/la-limitation-des-mandats-presidentiels-est-une-funeste-connerie-tacle-emmanuel-macron-20230831
I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day ? That's probably the only thing I can agree with ~~this far right fuck~~ Bardella. We should have a single term 7 years term to avoid what we have lived with Macron : not much on the first half of the first term, campaigning for the second term after that and now an absolute madness of authoritarianism, force pushed unpopular and unnecessary reforms and the further destruction of the very fabric of this country, because he's got nothing to loose anymore. That or a new republic that would give less power to a single person, like a parliamentary system.
