“If one day I have to embody that, I will do it”: MP François Ruffin (LFI group) does not rule out running “one day” for president, to “represent the most invisible of the nation”, in a interview in Konbini.
Asked if he could be a presidential candidate, the deputy of the Somme assures that he “does not think about it in the morning by (shaving) or running”.
“But I know that there is a duty today to represent the most invisible of the Nation”, adds the one who was one of the leaders of LFI against the government’s pension reform project.
“They need to be carried by a voice of hope which is on the left and which is not depressed, on the far right”, continues François Ruffin, specifying: “if one day I have to embody that, I will”.
And the first action he would do if elected president would be to “open the Elysée gardens so that there is a big popular party inside”.
Currently in his second term as deputy for the Somme, François Ruffin is no longer present in the media, where he notably delivers his ideas on the link to be rebuilt between the left and the working classes. His name is circulating among the personalities in the LFI camp who could claim to be presidential candidates in 2027.
