4 days agoI’ve a lot of gripes with LFI (notably on this point) but calling them hardcore leftist is just wrong.
Actual far left parties are NPA or LO in France.
Saying LFI is far left is like saying the german SDP or Joe Biden (US) are far left. They are left-center/left at best, their program is no more radical than Mitterant.
The official classification for LFI is left not far left. ( See franceinfo for exemple https://www.franceinfo.fr/elections/resultats/ where “extreme gauche” is not including LFI ) Their program is not far left and that’s what matter when observing a party that’s know to stick to it’s program before everything else.
The conseil d’etat statued as much in 2024 ( https://environnementsantepolitique.fr/2024/06/21/pour-le-conseil-detat-la-france-insoumise-nest-pas-un-parti-dextreme-gauche/ ) and that was only put into question by the Interior minister this year ( something he have no right doing but our current government wipe their asses with the constitution daily ).
Putting LFI on the same ground as RN is dangerous, one is a party made by facist and nazi that as put a new coat of paint but didn’t change and the other is a left party at best that is lead by idiots that have weird sympaties for authoritharian regimes.
