The head of the communists Fabien Roussel denounced on Tuesday, May 6, the lack of “democracy inside” of the rebel rebel on Tuesday, May 6, compared with “a sect under the influence of a couple”, after revelations on internal practices in LFI of a research book that appears on Wednesday.
“I understand that the behaviors of the management of the rebellious France approached the behavior of a sect under the influence of a couple, that of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his partner Sophia Chikirou”, by itself deputy of Paris, said the communist official who commented on BFMTV-RMC.
The journalists Charlotte Belaïch (Liberation) and Olivier Pérou (Le Monde) published an investigation into the movement created by the former socialist in 2016 on Wednesday, entitled “La Mute” (Flammarion). Several extracts in the press have already been published.
“It’s not pretty to see,” said Fabien Roussel, seeing “a real issue” to the left, especially in the perspective of the 2027 presidential elections.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon “is not a good candidate” for 2027
“There is a lot of democracy in the Movement of France Rebelde but also in France,” the National Secretary of PCF completed, saying that Jean-Luc Mélenchon “is not a good candidate, a good option for France.”
Fabien Roussel, whose party was combined with LFI for the legislative elections of 2022 (nuts) and 2024 (new popular front), has never hidden its reservations on the personality of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. He recalled that he decided to appear in front of him in the first round of the latest presidential elections for this reason.
But he assured “confidence in democracy, voters, electricity, French, those who vote precisely to have lucidity to ensure that, in the second round of the presidential elections, there is a candidate of a sincere, democratic, republican and secular left, which finally takes hope of a real change.”
The new revelations of this survey book are added to the testimonies already collected in particular after the “purge” during the latest legislative elections of several former close to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, accused in particular of opposite internal practices or certain positions of the party.
