Fascinating how french billionaire’s press managed to mandate the hard-left depreciative even in international news now
LFI are mostly former socialists trying to keep they electoral mandate. We have far-left parties here: NPA want to defund the police, LO want to nationalize the shit out of our oligarchs LFI want check note bring back conscription so the youngsters will start liking the country again
It mean LFI is a classic centre-left organisation a few more leftist than the PS (the ones getting assaulted there) it is a fallacy to call it far nor hard-left
Also it was not an LFI parade it was the unions demonstration where politcals parties usually have a stand on the sidewalk.
Asking LFI what the agression was about is part of a broader red-scare campaign. The agressor were (probably) a far-left group but calling it LFI is a conspiracy theorie
I have no idea of the internals of French politics, I’ve never heard of any of these people. My assumption (based on absolutely no evidence, just on pattern recognition) is that this is the result on some level of Russian propaganda infiltrating French politics and persuading every grouping that isn’t their favored mini-Nazis to attack one another and become consumed with infighting and destroy their own effectiveness. That’s why I thought it was important.
Assigning “good guys” and “bad guys” among the different groupings or picking the right labels for them, to me, misses the broader point.
Ow, gee, the hard left has distanced itself? What an assuming byline.
There are quite a lot of others I would think have more issues with moderate left protesters. Maybe ask the if they have ‘distanced themself’
