French communist rules out supporting Macron’s initiative

Fabien-Roussel
Paris, Sep 7 (Prensa Latina) Fabien Roussel, National Secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF), on Wednesday ruled out participation in the National Refoundation Council, an initiative that President Emmanuel Macron will set up on Thursday to face the country's challenges.

In response to an invitation by the head of State to the political forces to be part of the project, Roussel, who is a lawmaker and former presidential candidate, considered that the Council seeks to avoid Parliament in which the ruling party no longer has an absolute majority.

He urges that the French people recover their full sovereignty, which in his opinion involves returning real powers to the National Assembly, the Senate, and the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, as well as respecting these institutions.

Macron promotes the National Refoundation Council as a solution to face challenges in which climate change and the quality of education and health stand out.

According to the PCF leader, the communists will always be open to a democratic debate in the country’s interests.

We consider that France is living through extremely dangerous times, with crises of dramatic consequences that affect the world and Europe, which require a truly democratic revolution, bringing together all political, social, economic, cultural, and scientific actors around shared objectives, Roussel stressed.
