Melanson: If he becomes Prime Minister of France, he will grant citizenship to Julian Assange

THE Jean-Luc Melanson shortly before the second round of the French electionspromised that in case she is elected Prime Minister Francethen will give French citizenship to Julian Assange.

The French politician and leader of the left-wing Nupes alliance, commenting on the case of the Wikileaks founder, said: “If I am the prime minister on Monday, Mr. Assange, I think he has made the request, a Frenchman will be naturalized and we will ask to be transferred to us.”

According to Agence France-Presse, the Nupes alliance, which unites socialists, communists, environmentalists and Melanson’s radical left movement, the Rebellious France (LFI), gathered almost the same percentage as the Ensemble! (“Together!”) Of President Emanuel Macron in the first round of parliamentary elections. Jean-Luc Melanson, who is not the same candidate, is running for prime minister if he secures a majority in the second round on Sunday.

Julian Assange is being prosecuted by the US judiciary for wanting to prosecute him for leaking at least 700,000 classified US military and diplomatic documents since 2010, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. If convicted, he faces up to 175 years in prison.

After a long legal dispute, British justice officially gave the green light on April 20 for the extradition of the 50-year-old Australian to US justice, but the British Minister of Interior, Priti Patel will had to sign the issuance order, which he did today.
