“On Monday April 10, in his closing speech at the PCF congress, Fabien Roussel declared: "They have turned our borders into sieves. They've turned our borders into sieves. On twitter, this earned him tributes from MPs Olivier Marleix (LR) and Laure Lavalette (RN), who were delighted that the PCF was also using its demagogy against immigration. Faced with criticism from the left, Roussel initially denied having spoken about migrants, expressing annoyance that people were distorting [his] remarks. But a few hours later, he reiterated on BFM, saying that we had to be "firmer" on migrant workers who wanted to enter France. His formula was therefore a wink to the right-wing and far-right electorate, and an ignominy against migrants, whose death sentences are signed every day by the closure of their borders.”
