Wide smiles on the faces of the members of the Roanne section of the PCF, this Saturday 1is April morning. Christine Chevillard, the secretary of the section, announced that the number of members had once again crossed the symbolic bar of 100 people. Mainly young people. “We are rejuvenating our ranks, including within the office,” she observed. “People find themselves in our program. It was worked on and developed with them. »
Interventions in high schools
The Roanne section has two new elements: Vincent Garcia and Adrien Betau. The latter has also announced the creation of a youth commission. “We want other young people to arrive,” says this philosophy professor in Andrézieux-Bouthéon. “We intend to rejuvenate our party so that it lasts over time. »
These activists also want to show the younger generation that the PCF is the “ecological party of the left. Our enemy is capitalism. What exhausts the worker exhausts nature. To do this, they intend to go into direct contact with students: in front of the IUT of Roanne, in front of the general and agricultural high schools.
Recreate cells
Christine Chevillard also detailed her wish to recreate cells, local groups of communist activists. A first reopened in Charlieu in September 2022 and a second in La Pacaudière. “A cell can be created even if there are three or four comrades. This allows us to be more present at the local level and to intervene if necessary. We gain responsiveness. »
