La France insoumise (abbreviation: FI , in the media occasionally also LFI , represented by the Greek letter Phi , φ , German: Unyielding France ) is a left-wing political party in France . The FI was founded on February 26, 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon with the aim of implementing the L'Avenir en commun program .

background

The party is the successor to the Parti de Gauche or the party group Front de gauche and was renamed La France insoumise on April 23, 2017 . According to many observers, the political strategy of the FI follows a new pan-European populism of the radical left .

In the French parliamentary elections in 2017 , party leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon ran as the top candidate. The FI won 17 constituencies (after 11% of the votes in the first ballot) and was thus able to form its own parliamentary group in the National Assembly . In the 2019 European elections , the party with Manon Aubry as the top candidate won 6.3% of the vote and 6 European mandates; this was considered a disappointing result - party leaders announced their resignation; Mélenchon came under party criticism for his political positions and his leadership style and publicly considered a temporary withdrawal from politics.
