Supporters of La France Insoumise, the left-wing political party led by Jean-Luc Melanchon, gathered in Paris this Sunday, for the first rally of the campaign.
One supporter named Guy Friadt said his support for Melenchon was based on: "common interest such as the defence of public services."
Melenchon used the opportunity to lash out at his opponents, including French President Emmanuel Macron, whom he accused of rejecting dialogue, passionately telling his audience: "(Macron) must accept the debate, he is not above democracy."
According to official numbers of La France Insoumise around 3,000 people attended Jean-Luc Melenchon's meeting.
