(FRANCE 2)
The deputy from the Somme, who has already announced that he would not sit with LFI in the Assembly, is talking about “a political cooperative which would allow (…) us to move forward together and make common cause”.
The day after the second round of the legislative elections in which the left came out on top, François Ruffin called on Monday July 8, in “L’Evenement” on France 2, for the creation of a “commune house” to gather “all these people” who during the campaign “left with a leaflet or with their ballot paper”And “who were Insoumis, communists, socialists, ecologists, sympathizers…”. “I think there should be the possibility of meeting under a common roof”declared the deputy of the New Popular Front, re-elected Sunday in the Somme.
François Ruffin considered that this “commune house” was not to take the form of a political party and was instead to be inspired by the model of the “workers’ cooperatives” Or “agricultural cooperatives”The MP, who has already announced that he would not sit with La France Insoumise in the Assembly, mentions “a political cooperative that would allow (…) us to move forward together and make common cause”.
“My family is the left”said the elected official, questioned on the possible presence or not of personalities from Ensemble or the Republicans in this gathering. “That doesn’t mean that I exclude, that I don’t dialogue, that I don’t talk with everyone.” “In a constituency where 47% of voters vote for the RN (…), you have to talk to everyone”he continued. “My political family is the left, but the broad left”he insisted.
