He wants to come back.
The communist presidential candidate Fabien Roussel announced on Friday that he was a candidate for re-election in the legislative elections of June 12 and 19, 2022 in the North.
He also pleads for a rally on the left from the first round for a new majority in the National Assembly.
“These elections are decisive” because “it will be an opportunity to elect a new majority in the National Assembly which will meet your expectations”, declared Fabien Roussel, in a video message posted on his Facebook account.
“From the first round, let’s unite, let’s come together to make our voices heard.

" The situation is serious "
Fabien Roussel, who obtained 2.28% in the first round of the presidential election, spoke of Emmanuel Macron's victory in the presidential election.
He "must not consider his election against Marine Le Pen as a victory and support for his program, far from it", explains the outgoing deputy, who claims to want to continue the fight from the 20th constituency in the North "in the rally the wider”.
Intense negotiations continued on the left on Friday to find an agreement between La France Insoumise and, in particular, the PS, EELV and the PCF for the legislative elections.
"The time is serious because we must do everything to defend our purchasing power and prevent any form of social regression such as retirement at 65," insists Fabien Roussel.
In 2017, the communist was elected deputy in the second round in this constituency with 63.88% of the vote against 36.12% for the National Front candidate, Ludovic De Danne.
In the first round, he was only 1% ahead of the FN candidate, the LREM candidate Daniel Zielinski, arriving in 3rd place (20.17%).
