“I remember all the same that Marx denounced the exploitation of employees and the fact that business leaders made capital gains on work. This is the answer this Thursday from EELV deputy Sandrine Rousseau, who once again crossed swords with the communist Fabien Roussel, believing that the “work value” that he defended last Friday is “all the same a value of right “.
“Sharing working time, reducing working time, 4-day week, that I would have followed but putting work as the sole value of the left, that is not possible and especially for a communist”, criticized on Franceinfo the ecofeminist.
“We need to find time”
“We have a right to laziness, we have a right to transition from professions, we also have the right to take breaks in our lives, and above all, we need to find time, the sense of sharing and the week of 4 days”, pleaded Sandrine Rousseau. “There we are not at all in there, the value of work, sorry, it is still a value of the right”, she asserted.
According to her, “the ecological society is a society of slowing down, it’s a society where we take time, it’s a society where we have the right to change our minds, where we don’t lock ourselves in whole life in careers that damage the body and that make you reach 60 years old already sick”.
“It’s not a society where we speed up, where we work more to earn more, to pay for something more to buy, no, we slow down, we settle down, we take the time to connect, we take the time care and we actually take the time to be happy in this life too, ”she pleaded.
“Building a society of work and work that makes us happy”
The boss and former presidential candidate of the PCF, Fabien Roussel, declared on Friday at the Fête de l’Humanité that “the left must defend work and not be the left of allowances and social minima”, triggering a shower of criticism within Nupes.
“I especially do not regret having opened this debate”, assured Thursday the national secretary, from Moulins where the parliamentary days of the PCF open. “We have to push the debate to the end. I dare to believe that we all agree to build a society of work and work that fulfills us, ”he explained to AFP.
Sandrine Rousseau and Fabien Roussel had already polemicized at the end of August after the remarks of the ecologist deputy on the barbecue “symbol of virility”, the communist leader being offended that we are talking about “the sex of cutlets”.
