Arnaud Montebourg: 'French Bernie Sanders' plotting a shakeup
(Two 'Bernies' in South Korea, now one in France)
Excerpt:
France cannot keep acting as “gatekeeper to the British crown” at Calais and must stop managing refugees and migrants for the UK, Arnaud Montebourg, a key contender to become the Socialist party’s presidential candidate, has warned.
The flamboyant leftist told the Guardian he saw himself as a French version of Bernie Sanders, the US senator who made a bid to become Democratic presidential candidate on the issue of fighting inequality.
