Coming out of the turnstile on Friday January 19, workers at the Renault factory in Flins (Yvelines) only recognized one face on the leaflet handed to them, that of Fabien Roussel. Almost unknown to the general public, Léon Deffontaines, credited with 2 to 5% of voting intentions in the polls, does not take offense and approaches an employee.
The latter asks him: “Why has France become a garage, repairing cars from elsewhere? It’s a big site here, yet everything is leaving. We are manufacturers ourselves !” “We have to produce heresays the communist candidate. I want to fight now by calling on the government but also tomorrow in the European Parliament so that we add criteria and in particular, a criterion which says that the electric cars of tomorrow which are destined for the French market, are not only repaired here but well built here.”
Youth spokesperson
The Renault group assures franceinfo that the location of production of its new electric Twingo has not yet been decided and that it is continuing its investments in France. But the former leader of the young communists wants to take his part. There is no question of leaving reindustrialization to Emmanuel Macron, even less to the head of the National Rally Jordan Bardella, the big favorite of the Europeans, whom he intends to face.

Josiane, a communist activist, believes it: “We have a great chance that things will change, that things will move. But we need spokespersons like Léon Deffontaines because he is a young person and I think he is the spokesperson for youth. Our generation of evil to move because she no longer believes in it but young people believe in it a little more”. Exactly, Léon Deffontaines puts himself on stage for an Instagram video, coached by a videographer for the race for subscribers, “more than 500 in three-four days”which he hopes to multiply as he travels between now and the elections to ward off the fate of 2019 and succeed in sending communists to the European Parliament.
