“My conviction is that we will succeed. We, the communists and the others, are doing everything to ensure that we are once again there for the French people.”assured the communist senator of Paris Ian Brossat, spokesperson for the PCF, on franceinfo on Tuesday July 9, while the forces making up the New Popular Front are trying to agree on the composition of a new government.
“Everyone can understand that we need a few days of discussions” to reach an agreement, believes Ian Brossat. “There is a great expectation for change and we want to embody it.” The senator recalls that the New Popular Front has “managed to build” a “coalition”. “We managed to present a program. We are the only ones who proposed funding for this program.” “We were told many times that we would fail. And in the end, we are the first of the blocs within the National Assembly since the voters decided to put us in the lead”the communist emphasizes.
Ian Brossat promises that the New Popular Front will lead France “in a peaceful manner, without being brutal. This requires having a Prime Minister who is capable of bringing the country together and healing the wounds of a country that is extremely fractured. This is what we are going to work on.”.
“The Question of Incarnation” of the government by the appointment of the Prime Minister “is important”recognizes Ian Brossat. “It would be hypocritical to say that this is a secondary issue. This is probably why it is taking us a few days to make a proposal.” The communist senator believes that the future Prime Minister must be “a unifying personality, capable of bringing together the new Popular Front, all the political, union and associative forces, and also capable of bringing the country together, capable of building majorities on proposed laws, draft laws in the National Assembly”. “My conviction is that we need to unite and bring together and emerge from the long period of division and fracture that we have experienced for seven years”adds Ian Brossat.
