LFI lawmaker defends Mélenchon after Senate election gains
Original: Un élu LFI, un brin piqué par ma critique sur le satisfecit accordé par Mélenchon à ses troupes pour l'entrée de deux él
A lawmaker from La France Insoumise has responded to criticism of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's celebratory message to party members after two LFI candidates won seats in the French Senate. In the exchange, the elected official argued that the Rassemblement National is fully exploiting its growth to build momentum for 2027, and that the left must respond with the same dynamics. The spat reflects wider debate on the French left's strategy after the Senate results.
