He comments on the government's decision to submit a text to the European Parliament concerning the direct election of its members. He then discusses the Communists' desire to participate in the French government to implement the policies outlined in the Common Program of the Left, the work of updating the Common Program that has just been launched, and the expansion of nationalizations. He talks about the PCF's proposals for this Common Program regarding economic and social policy (nationalizations, wage increases and increased purchasing power, and reducing inequality through tax reform). He answers a question about the nationalization of private education. He discusses the distribution of responsibilities among left-wing parties following the 1978 legislative elections and his collaboration with François Mitterrand. He confirms that the establishment of a political model must be achieved through the exchange of ideas rather than through force and coercion, as was sometimes the case in socialist and communist countries of the East (for example, the Soviet Union). **** Information about comments ***** On YouTube channels, you are free to express your opinion, even if it is critical.
