It is a support for the least unexpected. Ten days after the leak of his polemical remarks in front of EM Lyon students, Laurent Wauquiez saw Jean-Luc Mélenchon take his defense on Monday. On a note posted on his blog, the insubordinate leader of France judged the matter "ridiculous", calling it a "heavy global attack by the media party."
