"It is the communist pride": the communists meeting in congress in Marseille praise their leader Fabien Roussel for his "speaking the truth" and his pugnacity. At the Palais du Pharo, the atmosphere is very different from the 2018 congress, when the party was divided.
The communists had a lot after a 2017 campaign where they paid lip service to Jean-Luc Mélenchon and felt humiliated. "There are resentments that have not yet passed," said Maxence Mendes da Silva, head of the Young Communists in Indre-et-Loire.
