Jean-Luc Mélenchon

Filmed lecture and images from a public meeting with Jean-Luc Mélenchon who presented a progressive alternative to the austerity policies which are being implemented across Europe and addressed the shortcomings of European integration. One of the most influential leaders of the ‘Other Left’ in Europe, he discussed the ‘historic failure’ of social democracy; its inability to shape a European Union based on solidarity and social justice.

Chair: Prof Philippe Marlière (UCL)
