Strong words to force the State to act. The national secretary of the PCF, Fabien Roussel, called this Wednesday in Humanity the population to gather in front of the prefectures, and “invade them even if necessary,” to ask the State to “act” in the face of rising food, energy and fuel prices.

Questioned by readers of the newspaper about the rise in inflation and the difficulties of the French, Fabien Roussel called for “action”, and asked the President of the Republic to “act immediately”.

“I no longer want to hear the talk that the state is powerless. If he is powerless, he leaves, he lets others do their thing,” he argued, believing that the government must “block food prices from below, lower energy taxes to halve the price of electricity, increase salaries and pensions to the level of inflation.”

But the boss of the communists goes further: “Then, if this is not done, we call to mobilize” and “to launch, everywhere, rallies in front of the prefectures, in front of the State which claims to be powerless, for it demand action,” he continued.

“Everywhere, we must wake up state services, invade them even if necessary, let it go back to Macron and let him hear with both ears, not just with his right ear,” he said. threatens. According to him, Emmanuel Macron must hear “that we can’t take it anymore and that we are going to rebel”.

“The anger of hunger threatens”

“The blow that Macron did to us with pensions, despite 14 demonstrations, is also a way of saying to the French: I despise you, I will do what I want,” analyzed Fabien Roussel. “So, I say it again: I call for rallies in front of prefectures, supermarkets, gas stations. The anger of hunger threatens.”

He also called on “each organization, whether the CNL (National Housing Confederation, Editor’s note), unions, political parties, associations”, to relay the message of mobilization, as well as “solidarity and charitable associations” like Les Restos du Cœur.

Despite a pension reform “passed with unspeakable brutality”, he said he continued to “believe that our strength is our numbers and our solidarity”. “Otherwise it would mean they won,” he concluded.
