“I aspire to rebuild a happy France”, says Fabien Roussel

Fabien Roussel wants to “repair” France. Invited to “Punchline” this Monday evening on Europe 1, the PCF presidential candidate said he aspired to “rebuild a happy France”. To do this, Fabien Roussel intends to fight against the high cost of living, which undermines the daily lives of many French people, including those who are part of the middle class.

Fight against the high cost of living

“France is damaged, fractured”, lamented the communist candidate at the microphone of Laurence Ferrari. Fabien Roussel thus wishes to “rebuild a happy France” by protecting the work and the purchasing power of the French. “We must fight relentlessly against the high cost of living”, he hammered in “Punchline”. “The bills keep rising but meanwhile the salaries and pensions of retirees are frozen,” he denounces.

Reclaiming power over the economy

Fabien Roussel specifies that these people who see their purchasing power drop are not only people with the minimum wage but also people from the middle class who “struggle at work but who find it difficult to have moments of happiness in family with their children, going out, eating well, enjoying the culture…”. The communist candidate believes that there are “a lot of things to do” to fight against this high cost of living. “We must regain power over our economy,” he said at the microphone of Laurence Ferrari. How? ‘Or’ What ? By making “the richest and the multinationals pay”.

“We did the Glorious Thirties, I would like the Happy Thirties”, confides Fabien Roussel in “Punchline”. “The people were present to make these Thirty Glorious Years, the employees were there. There were massive investments in France”, he recalls.
