A laptop, a Nintendo Switch or even household appliances are displayed as prizes to be won during the big end-of-year lotto of the French Communist Party (PCF) in Martigues.
The Martega communists are offering their end-of-year meeting which takes place on Saturday December 21 at 4 p.m. for this 2024 edition, in a context that is however particular in several respects.
For Axel Samuel, secretary of the Martigues PCF section, the lottery is “ a political moment, a source of revenue, which allows us to produce leaflets and mobilize for causes such as the Escaillon multidisciplinary health center, or to go to schools to talk about violence against women “. It is also the opportunity to have a political voice on the national situation but also on Mayotte which is experiencing an unequaled drama to date », Estimates the manager.
Fraternity and conviviality
But in this difficult context, and as the holidays approach, it is important for the forty-year-old “ to hold a fraternal and intergenerational moment like this. It’s a tradition that we renew every year and which sometimes allows up to five hundred people to share a time that is both friendly and political. ».
The other side laying the foundations of the formula is “ interest in the purchasing power of participants ”, according to Axel Samuel. “ It also allows people to benefit from cool prizes as the holidays approach. » which, for some, would otherwise be inaccessible.
Precisely, the participation costs twelve euros for three boxes, eighteen euros for six and thirty euros for twelve. In total, nine games are organized at the same time as snacks will be offered on site. Without forgetting the glass of friendship.
