Fabien Roussel has a singular voice on the left. The general secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF) does not hesitate to divide the camp of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) to exhibit his positions. His strategy earned him unexpected support.
“Myself, if I were a voter in Fabien Roussel’s constituency, I would vote for him. He is a sincere man,” Gérald Darmanin told Le Figaro on Thursday.
The support for the deputy from the North is surprising, since it comes from a former Sarkozyist who later became Minister of Action and Public Accounts, then of the Interior under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron.
“leftmost”
As indicated in The Figarothe owner of the Place Beauveau likes to remember that his father has always voted for Alain Bocquet, communist mayor of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux (North) since 1995. He also does not hesitate to remember his modest origins, son of a cleaner, lady and owner from a pond
In the newspaper columns he even goes so far as to say that “if the law is money, then why [son] heritage and [sa] chosen land [le Nord, ndlr]”, is the “leftmost of [son] party with Olivier Dussopt”, Minister of Labour, Full Employment and Integration and deserter of the Socialist Party (PS).
A way for Gérald Darmanin to state that he follows a “popular line” and that he is “instinctively on the side of the little ones”.
