A message that will cause chaos on the left. “Los Nupes, it’s outdated. We must get together much further,” Fabien Roussel, the head of the Communist Party, said in an interview with The express.
“I saw an appetite for a new left and one that is not limited to Jean-Luc Mélenchon,” the former presidential candidate continues.
The interview took place before the victory on Sunday of the socialist dissident Martine Froger against the candidate supported by the Nupes, the Insoumise Bénédicte Taurine, in the partial legislature of Ariège.
The “diversity” of the left
Asked about his desire to extend the union of the left to Bernard Cazeneuve, who left the PS denouncing the “toutouization” of the socialists by La France insoumise, Fabien Roussel Roussel replies: “Yes! We must speak to the entire left It is unimaginable to exclude anyone if you want to embody a force of progress capable of winning”.
The communist insists: “What will make our strength is both our diversity and our program.”
But he accompanies his outstretched hand with a warning: “I say this to Bernard Cazeneuve, former prime minister: our program will not be able to accommodate capitalism, above all it will bring about a radical social transformation.”
The tensions between the communists and LFI are not at their beginning. After the end of the debates in the National Assembly on the pension reform, Fabien Roussel, for example, had severely criticized the parliamentary strategy of the rebels who had kept their amendments to the end, accusing them of having “rotten the debates”.
