Fabien Roussel maintains his call to “invade the prefectures” to protest against inflation. The national secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF) defended this Tuesday on Franceinfo the idea that the French should rebel in “self-defense” if the Government refuses to introduce a regulated fuel price and the freezing of prices of certain food products, measures proposed by the Northern deputy.
“If all this is not implemented in the coming weeks, we call for mobilization, to invade service stations, supermarkets, prefectures,” he warned, persisting in his call made the day before in an interview with Humanity.
“Supporter of non-violent action”
Fabien Roussel, however, claimed to be “also a supporter of non-violent action”, but he did not understand that the French remain inactive in the face of inflation: “Do you think we are going to allow ourselves to be fooled like this for how many years? You see? (…) They attack us, they extort us, they rob us and we can’t say anything,” he said excitedly.
Emmanuel Macron must hear “that we can’t take it anymore and that we are going to rebel,” he explained the day before in the newspaper whose editor-in-chief is a PCF senator.
“I want the State to move and I prefer that a political party, unions, associations organize this anger and express it towards the representatives of the State than do nothing,” he added justified.
The head of the PCF explains that he made his proposals against the high cost of living to Emmanuel Macron during the meeting that the head of state organized with the party leaders in Saint-Denis on August 30.
In his interview with HumanityHe also called on the government to “lower energy taxes to halve the price of electricity, increase salaries and pensions to the level of inflation.”
