The kind of people who vote for her don’t do that kind of deep research.

On the 3th of october 2023, the newspaper Le Monde published a very well-writen investigation about her. Because she is the girlfriend of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, her party boss, she doesn’t hesitate to humiliate people:

Three days later, on the 6th of october, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was visiting Morocco. Believing he was far from french journalists, he made this confession to Moroccan students:

I don’t care about what’s in the press. Luckily, voters don’t read the press, they watch our videos. We are in the amazing age of social media

Chikirou is not left. She is a tankie nutjob.

She is know for screaming on her assistants

In parliament, she voted against aid to Ukraine, arguing “This would be bad for peace”

She said China isn’t actually a dictatorship

She paid tribute to the leader of Hamas

She told a group of Russians : “We will make Ukraine can never join the EU or NATO. They have a huge responsibility for seeking war”

She compared socialists to insects that must be crushed

Last but not the least, she is criminally indicted for financial fraud:

This is a woman so toxic that no one wants to associate with her.

When she joined the race, in her first interview, she said her main goal is to make sure the socialist loses:

Oui, toute personne qui a le malheur de ne pas être en accord avec toi est un bot.

You think someone is on the left because (checks notes…) says something about Hamas and/or China?

The left doesn’t praise the leader of Hamas, China, or Venezuela

The left doesn’t have MPs paying tributes to Leon Trotsky

The most powerful woman at LFI paid tribute to the leader of Hamas :

She also said : “I really don’t believe China is a dictatorship”

That’s pretty much the far-left dude.

Actual far left parties are NPA or LO in France.

Several LFI MPs come from the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA).

The NPA signed an alliance with LFI in the recent local elections.

The leader of the NPA recently said “We will likely run no candidates in the next elections. We will just endorse LFI”

It if looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, then what is it? A duck.
