They were around 3,000 to come and applaud, Thursday, March 10, the communist candidate in the hall of the Cirque d’hiver in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, 1,600 inside and almost the same number outside. Fabien Roussel, candidate of the French Communist Party for the presidency, continues his campaign on the theme of “Happy Days”, a reference to the National Council of Resistance and an assumed counterpoint to the ambient gloom.

A gypsy jazz group welcomes the public who sits in the bays of this mythical room dedicated to the circus arts. As for Séraphin, a retiree from Val-de-Marne, we feel the pleasure of being there. “It’s a prideexplains Seraphin, because I myself come from a humble family, a laborious father and the Communist Party is in fact a hope for this kind of people.

The communist candidate also takes pleasure, as Mr. Loyal on his trail to the stars. Fabien Roussel tests his formulas every weekend in the bars of his constituency in the North, always at the service of a discourse on purchasing power: “Petrol will become a luxury product, if this continues we will have jerrycans with the LVMH logo!”

Emmanuel Macron’s candidacy letter is mocked. “I took the trouble to read it, but really worth it, that’s the right word.” And the pension reform is booed. But his strategy is above all to embody a French side that transcends divisions. “My France to me, she sings the Internationale and the Marseillaise. It’s coco and cocorico!” And why not seek out the disappointed leftists who have gone to the far right.
