Voters in 35,000 municipalities will choose mayors and councilors in a two-round ballot that typically turns on local issues and personalities rather than national party platforms.

"#Palestine is another area where #LFI has taken a lead, to the chagrin of the traditional left-wing parties. It has been the only consistent voice speaking out with moral clarity and anger about #France’s complicity in #Israel’s genocide in Palestine."

The Countless Failed Attempts to Demonize France Insoumise

Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Insoumise is the biggest radical-left force in Europe. Liberal opinion seethes against all aspects of the movement — but Mélenchon’s comrades haven’t been thrown off course.

#ManonAubry, co-President of the #Left group in the #European #parliament and member of the main party of the winning coalition in the #French #election, #FranceUnbowed, seems like the kind of direct, principled #politician that we need more of in the world, especially in the #US.

This is my introduction to her, and I don't know if I'd agree with all of her positions or tactics but, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (#AOC), she seems strong, fearless, and correct.

@potus Watching the speech by #JeanLucMélenchon, founder of the #FranceUnbowed party, and it's notable the number of non-white faces around him.

A seemingly small thing that's making a huge, positive statement.

Such a collection is rare at this level and in such pivotal moments (or at all) in the #US, #Europe, #Canada, and heavily #Black, #Indigenous, and mixed-race Central and South #American countries (and not common enough in the #Caribbean).

#Democrats, move left, thanks.
