Europe@feddit.org•Enter the disrupter: Far-left Mélenchon seizes momentum in French electionsEnglish
0·19 days agoWe have had a debate for months on his wikipedia page over whether or not he is far left.
I put that he is far-left. Dude voted against aid to Ukraine and was endorsed by the anti-capitalist movement (NPA) in several elections. He is more to the left than Pedro Sancez.
Someone deleted it. Someone added “far-left” again. Someone deleted it again.
The Wikipedia French administrators ended up intervening. The article now says “Many consider him far-left”
For the record, most french people surveyed call him far-left.

“Look at what Chavez achieved in Venezuela. Our goal is to transform an angry people into a revolutionary people. This is what we want in France. It’s what I’m pushing for”*
