The NFP, particularly the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), has demanded for their right to form a government. The party argued that since it won the most seats, it should pick the new prime minister. It has chosen Lucie Castets, 37, as its candidate.

However, Macron’s party, along with the conservatives and the far right, have promised to vote no confidence in a left-wing government.

LFI isn’t hard left, nor far-left.

It’s “normal” left. I say “” because in the past where you’d have more normal parties, they’d just be left of the mean, but nowadays are only normal because everyone else has turned insane.

So, let me rewrite it:

This decision was criticised by the LFI, with its coordinator calling Macron’s comments out as an anti-democratic coup.

The oligarch Macron has previously tried to slander the LFI as an “extreme movement” in an attempt to equate the centrist group with the far-right National Rally.
