The appointment of a prime minister has been postponed once again without thethe national secretary of the PCF judged on Wednesday evening on BFMTV that the French are in the process of “turning away from this bad series.”
The mystery is total. Two months after the legislative elections, called by Emmanuel Macron in the wake of the European elections, the President of the Republic is bogged down in his quest for a prime minister who would not be censored upon taking office. While each day brings its share of rumors – or trial balloons distilled to the media – the political sequence drags on. Worse, no credible outcome seems to be emerging. An expectation that is starting to exasperate the political class, and in particular the leader of the communists. Invited Wednesday evening on BFMTV, Fabien Roussel said he was close to “many French people” Who “start laughing at this cinema” and “to turn away from this bad streak.”
Weariness which pushes the former deputy of the North to make the link between the governmental impasse and a soap opera broadcast since 1973 in the United States: “It reminds me of the The Young and the Restless.» “Something happens in every episode. If you miss two or three and start the series again, you feel like you haven’t missed anything and you’re still at the same point,” joked the former candidate for the 2022 presidential election. The odds of the contenders for the rue de Varenne may vary over the hours, but Fabien Roussel judged, like a soap opera, that “Every day there is a new episode, something is happening.” “But you can turn off the TV for a few days, and you realize that you are still at the same point,” he continued, continuing the metaphor.
“It’s a bit like making fun of the world”
If the alliance of the New Popular Front (NFP), which has the largest number of seats in the Palais Bourbon without an absolute majority, also tested several names (Huguette Bello, Laurence Tubiana…) before agreeing after two weeks on Lucie Castets, the communist leader judges that the left “got really teased” for this period… ultimately quite short for comparison. Criticisms that he considers unfair in light of the one (51 days) that Emmanuel Macron takes to find Gabriel Attal’s successor. “Everyone is asking the question: why was the National Assembly dissolved abruptly in June on the eve of the Olympic Games, and why wait two months to appoint a prime minister?”Fabien Roussel was indignant. He fired a final arrow at the president: “It’s a bit of a mockery of the world, all the same.”
