After the controversial remarks of La France insoumise on Hamas, the communist leader indicated on France Bleu Nord that he wanted a debate within his party to decide on the political follow-up to be given to Nupes.
“I think the debate [de quitter la Nupes]we must have it, serenely, quietly”, believes Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the PCF and deputy for the North, guest of France Bleu Nord on Wednesday October 11. “This is not the first snag in our coalition, but this is more than a snag. It’s a deep disagreement,” he insisted.
“This disagreement had already been formulated at the time of the riots, the urban violence, which some at La France insoumise had described as a revolution. Today, it is this inability on their part to qualify a terrorist act with the words that we must, therefore we must have this debate, I hope that we will have it within my political party, and we will draw all the consequences from it”

Call for a ceasefire
Fabien Roussel, who judges the situation “extremely serious there, in the Middle East”, calls on the European Union to position itself for a ceasefire. “L’all of the Nations (…) must ensure that they are not only on the side of the Israeli people, who have just experienced a tragedy like no other with acts of barbarity that we have rarely seen. And, on the other side, in Gaza, where today there are hundreds of civilians dying under the effect of the vengeful bombs sent by the Israeli army outside of all law, outside of all international conventions.said the MP.
According to him, “These are two peoples who are taken hostage, on one side by an Israeli far-right government and on the other by an Islamist terrorist organization. And that is what must mobilize us today, to do so that fraternity takes precedence over barbarism and so that these two peoples can live together in two States which can coexist.”

“With the images and testimonies that will arrive hour after hour on these massacres which were perpetrated in kibbutz where children were slaughtered, babies were kidnapped, all those who do not condemn with strong enough words these terrorist acts or even those who could defend them, will realize that they will be putting themselves outside the law by doing that”, concluded Fabien Roussel.
