Fabien Roussel Breaks Ties with La France Insoumise

The leader of the French Communist Party vows not to ally with LFI in future elections, citing ideological divides and electoral setbacks.

Fabien Roussel attributes his loss of a parliamentary seat to the alliance with La France Insoumise (LFI) during the recent legislative elections.
Roussel criticizes the coalition's strategy, noting that while it succeeded in urban areas, it failed in rural regions and even drove some voters to the far-right Rassemblement National.
The PCF leader argues that the identity politics of LFI, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, has alienated many traditional left-wing voters.
Roussel calls for a reimagined left-wing coalition that stays true to republican and democratic values, distancing itself from LFI's divisive politics.
He emphasizes the need for the left to reconnect with the French public on issues like security and immigration, advocating a more inclusive and pragmatic approach.
