La France insoumise (LFI)

La France insoumise · also LFI

A French left-wing party founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon in 2016, usually classed as radical left and sometimes as far left; eco-socialist and anti-capitalist.

La France insoumise was founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon on February 10, 2016. In party classifications it is generally placed on the left of the political spectrum, and some classify it as far left. Its platform emphasizes eco-socialism, its rhetoric is anti-capitalist and anti-liberal, and it advocates non-alignment in international relations.

After the October riots, right-wing politicians and some internet users blamed LFI. The president of the French Senate also said that "the question of banning LFI can be raised," prompting a strong backlash in left-wing online communities.
