It’s a funny comparison. The Minister of the Interior quoted LFI deputy François Ruffin, not failing to make him react. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, the left-wing man sharply criticized the statements of Gérald Darmanin, who had paid tribute to him.
“We cannot not listen to François Ruffin (…) He says that the social question is the most important. I think like him, “said the Minister of the Interior on RTL on Friday, who wants to focus on the working classes in view of the presidential election of 2027. The minister also highlighted the sociological similarities between the departments of origin of the two men, the North and the Somme.
“It looks like Arlette Laguiller”
“Darmanin would like us to forget that he was Minister of the Budget, that he is Minister of the Interior. He gets a makeover, he arrives, he eats a sausage and fries, a magic remedy apparently, and bam he appears, again, the messiah! replied the LFI deputy for the Somme in a video published Wednesday evening and entitled My answer to Gege!.
“You would think Ruffin, wouldn’t you? One would think of Arlette Laguiller even”, he also ironically about a declaration a few months ago by Gérald Darmanin: “It is time to tell the forces of capital to increase wages”. “It’s still Bruno Le Maire (…) he uses big words but it gives them a good leg up”, continues François Ruffin, potential LFI presidential candidate in 2027.
And the elected official of the Somme continues: “The abolition of the ISF is Gérald Darmanin. The implementation of the flat tax [prélèvement forfaitaire unique sur les dividendes] it’s Gerald Darmanin. The exit tax [allégée en 2019]is Gérald Darmanin. Serial gifts to billionaires, that’s Gérald Darmanin. “As he gives me kisses and hugs, I had to remind him that Pacs is not for now” he concludes, noting “the oxymoron” of the term “social right” that Gérald intends to embody Darmanin.
