Six days before the first round of the presidential election, the candidates are multiplying to try to convince the many French people still undecided about their vote.

If most favor this week the media occupation of the field, some have also chosen to return to the basics of a campaign.

The communist Fabien Roussel thus carried out a door-to-door operation on Monday in Malakoff in the southern suburbs of Paris.

It's hard to get a warmer welcome.

Fabien Roussel is in conquered territory in this building where there are many communist voters, like Françoise, retired with a bright red heart.

I started at 14, and since then I have remained faithful to the party! 

»

But the candidate is first there to convince, because even in this communist bastion, the undecided are legion.

One of his interlocutors hesitates between "

it's you or Mélenchon

".

Purchasing power, ecology and even cannabis, Fabien Roussel does not despair of making his difference heard.

“ 

I defended original proposals in this campaign, they must be heard.

The desire to convince!

 “, hammers the candidate.

Last hands clasped, last leaflets distributed, the candidate leaves, leaving residents flattered to have been listened to, but not necessarily more decided, like Jean Jacques who does not yet know if he will vote “

 left or right.

..”

The PCF Malakoff still on the ground!


What could be more effective to amplify the dynamic, than Fabien Roussel who goes door to door with us in #Malakoff.
