A way to close the controversy. In a tweet posted this Sunday, we see the family of the communist candidate in the presidential electionFabien Roussel be seated around a couscous. Coincidence? “I have been accused of not talking regarding couscous, I have even been accused of racism when I defend gastronomy. (…) I want each of us to have access to food and good meals. There are 7 million French people who live below the poverty line. Eating healthy, eating your fill, for me is revolutionary. “he declared Monday in Télématin on France 2. But for the choice of the meal, Fabien Roussel assured that the couscous was chosen by a majority of his family, in the final once morest the pot-au-feu.
The joy of Sunday meals with the family.
Happy Sunday to all !#Sundaypic.twitter.com/k0zFTwrfdq

For him, a revealing controversy of a left “cut off from the world”
Invited on RMC in the program “Les Grandes gueules” this Monday morning, he reacted to his remarks deemed “franchouillards” and “viandards” by part of the left last week. The communist candidate had declared on Twitter that “good wine, good meat, good cheese: that’s French gastronomy”. A controversy little appreciated by the main interested party who said he defended above all “the steak of the French”. “This controversy has revealed what the left does not want to see, cut off from the people. I defend the world of work which finds it very difficult to live with dignity despite the work. he regretted.
He once more recalled that he sought to promote the idea of healthy eating for all. “I defended the idea that everyone should be able to have access to a good meal, good meat, good cheese, not to mention a specific dish. Today it is difficult because a good rib of beef is 20/25€ per kilo, a good cheese is also expensive,” explained the communist candidate who called, in conclusion, to increase wages and pensions.
