Fabien Roussel imagines himself winning. On Friday, Humanity Day, the national secretary of the Communist Party assured that he would emerge victorious from the second round of the presidential elections in four years in the event of a duel against Marine Le Pen.
“If I were Roussel” in the second round of the upcoming presidential election against Marine Le Pen, “perhaps right-wing voters would vote for me.” “If he is a rebel, never, and he would bear the responsibility of a defeat against the extreme right,” Fabien Roussel added to the press.
It would still be necessary to reach the second round sooner, an objective that cannot justify the presence of a single left-wing candidate in the first round to elect the head of the PCF. “There has never been a single left-wing candidate since 1974 (…) Single candidates will not work, they would not be credible. I myself could not be the only left-wing candidate,” he said. he stated, adding that “the left cannot be represented except by Jean-Luc Mélenchon”.
The leader of the Insoumis on Thursday criticized Fabien Roussel’s call to invade prefectures to protest inflation, calling it a “purely personal violent initiative.” “I am surprised by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, I think he is softening a little,” the Northern deputy replied ironically.
Based on this statement, Fabien Roussel clarified that he called for “peaceful meetings.” “Excuse me, I’m a communist, we organize mobilizations! I’m not going to continue participating in meetings without something happening,” he added.
Regarding government policy, Fabien Roussel estimated that “the president uses the 49.3 as others used the guillotine before.” “It is a guillotine for Parliament, it is a guillotine for democratic debate,” he said.
