Francois Ruffin “is doing something that doesn’t suit me at all, he’s starting to score own goals a bit too much”reacted La France Insoumise MP Eric Coquerel, Thursday September 12 on France Inter.
MP François Ruffin deplored on Wednesday, on BFMTV and in The New Obsthat France Insoumise “abandoned” part of the country and “build walls” instead of building bridges. In his book My whole France, not half of itFrançois Ruffin, who broke with LFI at the time of the legislative elections, affirms that since 2022, Jean-Luc Mélenchon has “everything focused on youth and working-class neighborhoods” And “abandoned the rest” and also accuses LFI of “facial towing”.
“Letting people think that because LFI fights racism, which is essential, we would abandon the social question, is only paying tribute to what our adversaries say and I think that is not worthy of François”reacts Eric Coquerel, who does not confirm the instructions for towing based on appearance.
He also denies the absence of LFI in the “bastions of the working class”, “refuted by all the facts”citing the presence of LFI elected officials with Goodyear workers to maintain employment. According to the rebellious deputy, this position is adopted by François Ruffin and “others unfortunately”, “because it gives them a good TV audience, perhaps for a presidential ambition for the future”.
