ROUSEL. Fabien Roussel therefore ends with 2.2% of the vote in the first round of the 2022 presidential election. The Communist Party candidate could not prove the polls wrong, which gave him very far from the level of the 2nd round.
The result of Fabien Roussel will not allow him to access the 2nd round of the 2022 presidential election. The communist candidate obtained 2.2% of the votes in the 1st round of the election of the ballot, according to the final results communicated by the Ministry of the Interior on Monday 11 April. If his campaign has a shuddering time, Fabien Roussel has not managed to find a place in the middle of the Macron-Le Pen-Mélenchon steamroller. Anti-“woke”, pro-nuclear and pro-hunting, Fabien Roussel carried an unprecedented voice in his party, a voice which could be criticized on the left (in particular by the ecologist Sandrine Rousseau) as welcomed on the right (we remembers Eric Ciotti’s “full support” at the time of the gastronomic controversy). He appeared as the new face of communism, after two elections exempted from the colors of the International. Although he beat Anne Hidalgo’s socialist party (with only 1.7% of the vote), the dynamic around Fabien Roussel was insufficient, not allowing him to reach the 5% of the vote which would have allowed him to reimburse campaign expenses. On the evening of Sunday April 10, after reacting to the results of the first round of the 2022 presidential election, Fabien Roussel called to vote for Emmanuel Macron in the second round, without directly quoting the latter.
