VSis an original and long-term journalistic work carried out by the magazine La Croix the weekly and which can be discovered in this week’s issue of April 26. A year of reporting, from spring 2023 to this spring 2024, alongside the two Somme deputies François Ruffin (Picardie Debout / LFI) and Jean-Philippe Tanguy (RN).
Everyone in their own hallway
Eighteen pages to tell “ the battle of the Somme “, but above all, as the journalist in charge of the file, Marine Lamoureux, points out, “ take the pulse of the country and its relationship to politics “, through two media-publicized figures who, incontestably, plow the ground and seek to conquer “ the popular electorate “. Everyone in their own hallway; one to bring the people back to the left and unify the working classes and the middle classes, the other to the far right to continue the operation of notabilization of Marine Le Pen.
No scoop but a confirmed National dimension
The Picards, readers of Picard mail, will probably not discover much new in these pages. Otherwise perhaps the very “Gaullist” display of Jean-Philippe Tanguy and his hope of becoming minister in 2027 in the event of a victory for the National Rally. Where the desire of François Ruffin, after the Europeans, to be “ A bridge » between the Rebels « playing “more radical than me you die” ” And “ the cushy left, who thinks everything is fine » ; an assertion which is not going to make him more than friends but which is of an incontestable lucidity for those, on the left, who cannot resolve to another assured defeat.
