“There is no need to be communist to vote Fabien Roussel”: This is the last slogan of the French Communist Party candidate (PCF). From here to his first great meeting of the year, Sunday, February 6 in Marseille, the member for the North intends to expand his seat, who canton him for the moment in the last places in the polls. With this in mind, he had to present his program, Monday, January 24, from the historic headquarters of the Party, Place du Colonel-Fabien, Paris. Fueled by contributions harvested at public meetings, discussions at the National Council of the PCF, this program written under the leadership of Christian Picquet (management member, former Left Front) reflects the priorities of the candidate. Although nationalizations are legion in this program (SNCF, EDF, Engie, Post Office and “France Telecom”), the word “communism” does not appear, except to evoke the “Communist” deputies. “Work”, on the other hand, returns more than a hundred times. “I defend a France work and with a good salary rather than a France of unemployment with social assistance,” still repeated Fabien Roussel Saturday, January 22, at the 13-hour newspaper TF1.

Work and wages therefore entails in the first place of these 67 pages: SMIC at 1,500 euros net per month, retirement at 60 years at full rates, status for workers uboyered and week of thirty-two hours. Fabien Roussel also offers a social skills and layoff moratoria. And their cancellation under the authority of the prefects in case of distribution of dividends. In the Public Services chapter, the hospital and the school focus many promises. Care for 100%, third-party generalized third party, end of financing to activity in hospitals … Mr. Roussel also promises health facilities within thirty minutes of transportation and a public service of old age.

A policy of “public tranquility”

Very popular at his competitors on the left (Yannick Jadot, Jean-Luc Mélenchon), the question of the legalization of cannabis is referred to the holding of “a democratic debate”. At school, finished homework: the candidate proposes to increase school time “without increasing working time”, thanks to supernumerary teachers. He advocates a 45% increase in the national education budget and 90,000 hires. Moreover, for all officials “the index point will be revalued by at least 30%”. In total, 500,000 new public jobs, including 100,000 for the hospital, but also 15,000 teacher-researchers, 25,000 juvenile justice and educators.
