Faced with him, greater than a thousand left sympathizers got here to rush to take heed to the previous rebellious, who left Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s social gathering final July. Faced with a fanfare who got here to animate the night, this rally, entitled “Our France”, was above all pleasant. “We are doing the revolution because we are a party,” smiles François Ruffin on the time of his talking. Heated by the mayor of Montreuil, Patrice Bessac, the deputy Alexis Corbière and the ascent on the stage of a number of strikers from the ARCELORMITTAL STUDERY FUTTE and Sciences Po Paris, the gang, beer or sandwich in hand, was simply ready to see the person of the night.

Given the state of the left that appears like an sickness, I’d have put in divans, “begins from the outset, the elected official before continuing on a river speech of more than an hour and a half.

From the e book of Jordan Bardella Raillé (“I hit his masterpiece”) to the “corruption of the system” by way of “the bankruptcy of the thought of current leaders”, François Ruffin made the selection, on this assembly night, to undertake a discourse with populist and anti-elite accents with out ever coming into the main points of his line.

He simply addressed a couple of factors on the event of its definition of “our France”.

In the room, the phrases of the elected official have their impact. “It makes me good to hear this kind of speech,” rejoices a left -wing voter whereas applauding the deputy.

The union of the left?

But greater than the primary a part of the speech, the important on this night was quite on the finish of it. Always elusive, François Ruffin nonetheless tried to hint his technique for 2027. “We have two years of respite to take over the pilgrim’s stick and rebuild this force on the left,” he inspired, pleading for a union of the left: the one means, in accordance with him, to prevail.

“We have to loosen the noose between the too crazy and too soft,” added the previous near Jean-Luc Mélenchon in an express reference, with out nonetheless naming them, to the rebellious and the socialists. Lonely as standard, anxious to distinguish itself, the Picard has by no means fallen into the entice, in the course of the night, to get bogged right down to method the quarrels that animate the left. Never quoting the identify of a leftist official, François Ruffin tried to face out somewhat extra of his colleagues from the NFP. A paradox when on the lookout for the union?

Only a couple of environmentalists, communists or socialists had been there like Karima Delli (ecologist), Rémi Cardon (socialist) or Sébastien Jumel (Communist). What ask questions in regards to the political weight of the one who’s now not thriller of his ambitions.

Will he be capable of stimulate the union round him? To embody a dynamic able to qualifying within the second spherical? Present throughout this assembly, the socialist deputy Paul Christophle pretends to surprise. “Nice room, beautiful organization, beautiful speech: it still makes you want, right?” »»

“Notebooks of complaints”

An opportunity for François Ruffin to win? “It is not true that the story advances without leader, without engine, faceless, without name. This is not true, even less for this election, ”additionally professed the latter. “Since the time as he was asked, he had to reveal himself one day,” congratulates a younger left current in marble. “But will he have a sufficient base around him?” “Wonders her friend, a former voter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
