Fabien Roussel praises the merits of herring when Jean-Luc Mélenchon once celebrated the virtues of quinoa. Duel in the kitchen.
Asia Dayan A political communication stunt or a simple innocent initiative, the cooking video shared by Fabien Roussel did not fail to make the left react… © Fabien Roussel Facebook Published on 08/11/2023 at 1:29 p.m.
It’s the political controversy of August, and no one will have seen it coming… In the holiday setting of his campsite, Fabien Roussel sat down at a table, facing the camera and dressed in a flocked T-shirt with the mention “day off”, to present to its Facebook subscribers the recipe for its herring-potato-tomato salad. A company that seems, at first glance, perfectly harmless.
However, while some benevolent comments were left under the original post of the national secretary of the French Communist Party, a wave of hatred swept over X (ex-Twitter). While some criticize the MP for the 20th constituency in the North for stepping out of the posture required by his position, others accuse him of seeking to appropriate the codes of the working classes in order to attract this electorate, or even to approach populist communication.
“He really takes the working class for neuneus,” laughed a Twitter user. Significantly, the authors of these criticisms are mostly left-wing sympathizers from other political formations. An intra-family lynching which was reprimanded, for example, by Emma Rafowicz, president of the Young Socialists: “Tired of these ‘comrades’ who despise, divide and create cleavage on the left for everything and anything. Thank you @Fabien_Roussel for this recipe, to test. »
Back from camping, I discover on the networks the attacks targeting Fabien Roussel and his herring salad ��

A well-known stunt
Posting a recipe during your vacation, is it so good child? In reality, this process seems to be akin to a communication technique that predates Fabien Roussel. Interfering in the private life of political figures in order to make them sympathetic and humane was initiated by John F. Kennedy, in the United States, several decades ago. Valéry Giscard d’Estaing then imported it in the 1970s by inviting himself, in particular, to dine with the French during his presidential term.
READ ALSOThe old demons of Jean-Luc MélenchonAs for sharing her secrets for making a good salad? It had already been done! In September 2016, Jean-Luc Mélenchon invited to discover his special slimming quinoa salad in a video interview for Gala. Fabien Roussel’s sympathizers did not fail to remind the militants of La France insoumise, mocking their national secretary…
Some replied that their candidate would never have moved away from his political fights and had proposed this vegetable recipe for the sole purpose of defending and raising awareness of the animal cause. Others wanted to remind the defenders of the deputy of the North that Jean-Luc Mélenchon, too, had been generously mocked.
READ ALSOFabien Roussel or wokism by exampleStrongly mocked during the 2022 presidential campaign for having maintained that “good wine, good meat, good cheese” represented in his eyes “French gastronomy”, Fabien Roussel now has a new burden to bear: that of having prepared a herring salad.
