Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the controversy over private property
On October 25, 2026, Jean-Luc Mélenchon broadcast an interview with economic journalist François Lenglet, presented as an "unfiltered discussion". The next day, he considers private property a freedom that has its limits and denounces the idea that one must own one's home. On October 27 and 28, Sarah Knafo and lawyer Jean-Philippe Feldman criticize his remarks, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon replies to them and assures he is not proposing the collectivization of all goods. He then replies to Sarah Knafo on X, then to Jordan Bardella on private property and overseas territories. On October 30, he reaffirms that property is a "freedom that has its limit" and a "right of use".
