It only took a few short words to arouse the ire of France Insoumise.
Almost a year after the founding of Nupes on the eve of the June 2022 legislative elections, which aimed to bring together different left-wing formations to avoid divisions and have a strengthened group in the Assembly, Fabien Roussel considers that it is time to shake up this parliamentary alliance.
In an interview with
L'Express on Monday
,
the national secretary of the French Communist Party sees in the Nupes an organization
"outdated"
and that
"we must bring together well beyond".
Until a former prime minister, hated by part of his camp: Bernard Cazeneuve.
“We have to talk to the whole left.
It is unimaginable to exclude anyone if you want to embody a force for progress capable of winning
, ”assumes the former contender for the presidential election.
"I say it to Bernard Cazeneuve (...) our program will not be able to accommodate capitalism, it will above all carry a radical social transformation",
specifies the PCF deputy from the North.
While a seminar of the groups making up the Nupes is to be held at the National Assembly on Tuesday evening, aimed at reflecting on the balance of power and the functioning of the latter, Fabien Roussel thinks that "we can no longer dampen the hopes of the people
,
(and that) the
time of this left is over.
" If he wishes to open the left to the movement of the former prime minister of François Hollande "The Convention", the communist leader considers that this left, which adapts to the market economy specific to capitalism, "has
disappeared
with the former President of the Socialist Republic.
“Fabien Roussel is right! Let's meet and rebuild a left of responsibility and credibility that gives hope to the French”
, replied Bernard Cazeneuve.
But the call of the clear and clear foot of Fabien Roussel was not to the taste of his partners of France Insoumise.
In the process, the deputy LFI Alexis Corbière did not go with dead hands:
"To expand the Nupes until victory, let's also start by stopping to denigrate it regularly."
“The fight for the unity of our camp and its reinforcement is a constant requirement.
In this period of mobilization, let's not feed the chronicle of division",
mocks the elected Ile-de-France.
It must be said that Bernard Cazeneuve, who was Minister of the Interior between 2014 and 2016 in the government of Manuel Valls, is regularly criticized by part of the left for his firmness on sovereign issues and his attachment to secularism.

"Little Divider Game"
LFI MP Danièle Obono sees, with
“La Nupes, the only alternative today to Macronie and the far right.”
“By attacking it, with no other objective than to advance their little people, the Cazeneuve, Delga, Hidalgo, Roussel & cie have clearly chosen their side.
He is not that of the left
”, castigates the elected official of Seine-Saint-Denis.
““La Nupes is outdated” says Fabien Roussel.
She was less so when he needed his logo to get elected.
Now he wants to “gather” with Cazeneuve.
And why not Valls?,
also mocks his colleague Bastien Lachaud.
We bet that in coherence, he will address them to be invested the next time.
Spikes revealing tensions, in a context where a partial legislative in Ariège on Sunday woke up tensions a little more within the Nupes.
The rebellious deputy Paul Vannier, he seized the opportunity to once again ridicule the candidacy of Fabien Roussel in 2022:
“His little divider game has already cost us the second round of the presidential election.”
As such, this is not the first time that the boss of the Communists has been the target of LFI.
His score of 2.28% in the first round of the presidential election was greater than the difference of 1.20% that existed between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Preventing, according to the Insoumis, their leader from facing face-to-face Emmanuel Macron.
