Fabien Roussel persists and signs. “I guess,” said the general secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF) at a forum in the World after having confronted the “worker left” and that of the “allocs”, thus attracting criticism from his allies in the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes).
“I fight for a society that sets itself the goal of guaranteeing employment, training and salary to each of its fellow citizens,” writes Fabien Roussel.
This week, his left partners continued to affirm their disagreement. The rebels in mind. According to Éric Coquerel, interviewed by France Info, Fabien Roussel adopts a “right-wing vocabulary” and “for once, speaks like Emmanuel Macron”.
His partner at the Palais Bourbon, Clémentine Autain, denounces in LCI a “moral and political fault”. According to the member of Seine-Saint-Denis, “opposing is not the left”.
“Right to Sloth”
Proof that the subject is debated, even Benoît Hamon, still retired from political life, is out of danger. The former Socialist Party (PS) candidate for the 2017 presidential election attacked the head of the Reds.
“Is there anyone who reminds Fabien Roussel that the ‘benefits’ he is talking about are called Social Security and that we owe it in particular to an illustrious communist, whom they called ‘the workers’ minister’, Ambroise Croizat”, he tweeted.
A matter of perspective. “Dear Benoît, Social Security is financed with the contributions of the workers. If work did not exist, social security would not exist either,” replied the interested director.
The former presidential candidate digs his wake, even if that means isolating himself. Asked this Wednesday by France info, he highlighted “differences of view” with his Nupes partners. Not without first sending them a barely concealed pike, evoking those who defend the “right to be lazy, the idea of putting the RSA at 1000 euros”.
On the left, not many people push in the door to support him. Like the rebels, socialists and environmentalists also had very little appreciation for its premiere.
“We can develop a society where there is work without repeating the words of the adversary,” argued Julien Bayou, national secretary of the Greens, during a debate at the Fête de l’Humanité.
The same story with his socialist counterpart Olivier Faure. The latter criticized those who, within the Nupes, “have an expression that seeks to trip up others.”
“Without stress”
The sequence gives pause to the socialist elephants opposed to the agreement reached between the lefts during the last legislative elections.
“At this level of dispute, it would be better to live apart,” ironically François Hollande on BFMTV on Tuesday.
A few days earlier, Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, former first secretary of the PS, had shared a tweet in which he believed that “slowly but surely, the Nupes are disintegrating.”
“No stress,” replies Fabien Roussel on France Info. “I want us to unite, we will move forward together,” he said. To justify his approach, he highlights the results of the last legislative elections where the left has “advanced” but has not “won.” A way of saying that we have to change gears.
“I would like to address those who were able to vote for far-right candidates,” explains the general secretary of the PCF.
A speech reminiscent of François Ruffin’s. Whoever wants to win back the popular electorate won over the National Association in rural areas, focusing his speech on work. However, the Somme MP is careful not to align himself with Fabien Roussel’s recent statements.
“Opposing ‘the France that works’ to ‘the France of allocations’ is not the fight of the left, these are not my words. Those assisted are up there, filled with billions by Macron: it is our daily policy” . work to unite bottom against top,” he wrote in a tweet.
