“Let the French choose”, answers Fabien Roussel to those who plead for a “useful vote”

“Let the French choose”launched this Tuesday on franceinfo the candidate of the French Communist Party (PCF) for the presidential election, Fabien Roussel, in response to those who plead for a “useful vote”. According to him, “that would mean that there is a useless vote, useless citizens”. “Do you see how contemptuous those who talk like that are?”he was indignant, in reaction to remarks made on franceinfo by the campaign manager of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, candidate of La France insoumise for the presidential election, a week earlier.

“The question asked today is whether in the first round, we prefer that the two who qualify for the second, it is Mr. Macron and Mrs. Le Pen or that there is Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a left-wing candidate, present in the second round”declared Manuel Bompard. “Any left-wing conscience cannot be insensitive to the fact that we can qualify a left-wing candidate in the second round”he insisted.

“They run the presidential election with their noses on the polls, I run the presidential election looking at the French, looking at my country and telling them that on April 10, not only can they vote for their convictions, for their ideas, for the best which they consider to be closest, because they find themselves in his words, in his way of speaking, in his frankness, and it is this candidate that I want to embody”added Fabien Roussel.

For him, “April 10”the electors “can not only vote for this, but they can also vote for the future and what’s next”. “I also want to embody that, embody this popular, republican, secular left, which has put its feet in the dish on meat, food, on nuclear power, on security, on secularism”, affirmed the standard-bearer of the communists in this election. To hear it, “Coming together tomorrow to build a majority, that’s what’s at stake”.
