inlandempire OP , vor 3 Tagen (Bearbeitet vor 3 Tagen) an Europe in French parliament elections: Left projected to win most seats, ahead of Macron's coalition and far right

Disappointing from Politico, I thought they had a good read on politics but it seems they're incompetent enough to not be able to understand the french political landscape: the far left is mostly composed of NPA and LO who are trying to gain power through revolution, not the classic socdem parties playing by the elections rules

Edit : wow thanks for the context, friends, didn't know they had changed owners

Why be so antagonizing, this is a discussion

It's not your job to go look for those statements either, they can search for more information themselves and report back with their findings

inlandempire OP , vor 26 Tagen an Europe in French left finds governing agreement for 'new popular front' alliance

"Pro russian far left" is the rhetoric used by the Macron government, the parties of this union have consistently condemned the Russian invasion, the program they revealed mentions :

Defend Ukraine and peace on the European continent to thwart Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression, and for him to answer for his crimes before international justice: to defend unwaveringly the sovereignty and freedom of the Ukrainian people as well as the integrity of its borders, by delivering necessary weapons, cancelling its foreign debt, seizing the assets of the oligarchs who contribute to the Russian war effort within the framework permitted by international law, sending peacekeepers to secure nuclear power plants, in an international context of tensions and war on the European continent and working towards the return of peace

Far left in France has a specific definition that seems to be blatantly disregarded by french politicians : those who want to take power via a revolution are far left, this union is playing the game of gaining power through the popular vote

I'm not sure about the semantics but I think both can be used interchangeably ?

I've only been to Iceland so I can't judge the others, Norway really fascinates me with its nature, and political history. The Baltics are on the map, I was supposed to go to Latvia in 2021 for a concert, but it's been postponed 5 times, but I hope I get to visit all three of them as well.

Yeah haha it's really weird and I tend to switch between the "normal" way and the "french" way without noticing. Basically in french the rule is that if your symbol is "tall" ( ! , ? , brackets, semicolon, I think dashes as well...) it needs to be preceded by a space

Excellent summary of the political situation in France, thanks for sharing

Macron took pride in this ability to see beyond ideological apriorism and see all sides of the issues. He was neither left nor right – he was both. Or neither.

The french leftists are usually mocking Macron's catch phrase "neither left nor right", we say he's neither left, nor left
