The controversy over the “single-sex” meetings organized by the student union Unef continues to rebound. Latest controversy to date, the skirmish via social networks between the president of the Occitanie region and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
In a tweet, Carole Delga said on Friday that it was necessary “to stop playing people against each other, at the risk of generating a society of enemies.” Racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination will only recede by first bringing the French together on the rights and values of the Republic. The Unef would benefit from following this path ”.
A stance that earned him a volley of green wood from the leader of the Insoumis. On the same social network, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, explained that Carole Delga, “unable to stand up to the French Action, takes up her slogans. Lamentable. It is not a dike but a hatch! “.

“Delirious” for Delga
The latter refers to the intrusion, Thursday, in the hemicycle of the regional council of Occitanie, of far-right activists with a sign on which one could read “Islamo-leftists – traitors to France”.
A spade by Jean-Luc Mélenchon which has earned many reactions, especially on the left. As for Carole Delga, in an interview with The Obs, she explained that she found his words “delusional”. “He’s completely losing his nerves. That a candidate for the presidency of the Republic can write such things shows that he is outside the republican framework. He sinks into verbal and dangerous violence ”.
