"No one will speak in our name," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says, adding Europeans will join next week's Russia-Ukraine talks. He also accused hard-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon of echoing Kremlin propaganda.
France Unbowed leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon published his manifesto "A Shared Future" on 6 November, a day before a major rally near Paris. He is polling second at 17.6%, behind National Rally candidate Marine Le Pen at 36%, per an IFOP poll for LCI on 27–29 October.
