“The Nupes are not the alpha and omega of our rallies” on the left, the head of the communists Fabien Roussel said on Tuesday, asking to “see bigger” to stop “bumping” 30% of the votes in the elections.
“What I want is for the left to win, for it to represent an alternative,” he told France Inter. But “for 10 years, the left, whatever its choice, united or not, has limited itself to 30%,” he lamented.
“We can do the same thing next time and get the same result,” the PCF national secretary replied of the Nupes alliance formed last May.
“Let’s see further”
“The Nupes is not the alpha and omega of our rallies,” he said, before taking part in the coalition meeting Tuesday night in Paris. “If this electoral agreement had not existed, we would still be united on pensions.”
“We are going to look further, bigger, to see what prevented us from passing 30%, why we were not able to avoid the election of 89 far-right deputies,” he said.
For Fabien Roussel, “many French are not on the left and I hope that the PCF becomes stronger and speaks to the working classes, so that tomorrow we will be a majority.”
“Let’s put the package in 19”
As for pensions, where the PS demands to continue challenging the government’s reform project, Fabien Roussel “wishes that we can offer a pact to the French”, a counter-project also mentioned by the LFI head of deputies Mathilde Panot.
On the other hand, unlike LFI, the communist indicated that he would not attend the march on January 21 called by youth organizations: “Let’s put the package on the 19th (day of strike and demonstration of the inter-union, Editor’s Note), the The challenge is that many, many people are present on Thursday.” “I do not blame them for doing it, I say that I will not participate,” he said.
