The outgoing national secretary of the PCF Fabien Roussel was re-elected Monday at the head of the Communist Party meeting in congress in Marseille with more than 80% of the votes. The list drawn by Fabien Roussel for the National Council won 80.4% of the votes after a vote on Monday. Fabien Roussel, 53, has led the PCF since November 2018 and his re-election caused little suspense after his orientation text had already won 82% of the vote in January.
“Aspire to be worthy of the trust” of activists
Unfortunate candidate for the presidency of 2022 with 2.3% of the votes, Fabien Roussel was acclaimed at the 39th congress of the PCF at the Palais du Pharo for his speaking truth and his pugnacity in asserting his positions against La France insoumise by Jean-Luc Mélenchon within the Nupes. Emphasizing the “honor” given to him, Fabien Roussel said in the preamble to his speech on Monday “to aspire to be worthy of the trust” brought by the activists.
At the opening of the congress on Friday, the deputy from the North had raised his voice against LFI, assuming his statements on an “outdated” Nupes and having to expand towards the center left. “Mind your own business,” he told LFI, who called on the Communists to “clarify” their position after their leader’s statements.
