An outstretched hand, but not only. If Fabien Roussel estimated on Monday that the meeting of the left must go as far as Bernard Cazeneuve, the national secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF) also recently met with the former prime minister of François Hollande, who is also a fervent opponent of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes).
“I actually met Fabien Roussel,” he explains to the Parisian the former socialist, who had left his formation last May, accusing him of being “toutouisée” by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Bernard Cazeneuve strokes the hair of the national secretary of the French Communist Party, who, unlike him, is a member of the Nupes.
For Roussel, Nupes is “outdated”
“I esteem him and we share the same analyzes on many issues,” stresses the one who was also Minister of the Interior. And for good reason: Fabien Roussel is very often critical of the left-wing coalition formed before the general elections last June. Like Bernard Cazeneuve, the deputy from the North mainly targets the rebels.
In an interview published Monday by The express, the communist considers the Nupes “old-fashioned” and calls to reunite his camp “far beyond” this alliance. Including Bernard Cazeneuve and his recently launched movement, The Convention. As he warns the person in question:
“Our program will not be able to accommodate capitalism, above all it will provoke a radical social transformation.”
“Assured Defeat”
“Of course, I am willing to continue discussions with him, as with any person on the left who respects the limits of Nupes and wants a responsible and credible left union”, explains Bernard Cazeneuve, still in the parisian.
In response to statements by Fabien Roussel, the rebels came out of the woods I strongly disagree with this initiative. They do not carry Bernard Cazeneuve in their hearts. Away from.
Its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, does not hesitate to address it on his blog. A guest of BFMTV-RMC, the rebel deputy Alexis Corbière sends a message: an alliance with him, “is assured defeat”.
