Above all, do not talk about congresses or institutionalization. La France insoumise (LFI) will never be a party, it will have no members, swear its executives. But she settles down, she anchors herself. And think about its internal organization. Like its left-wing partners who are meeting in congress this winter – on December 10 for Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV), in January for the Socialist Party (PS), in April for the French Communist Party (PCF). Thursday, November 10, from the movement’s Paris headquarters, several LFI parliamentarians (Jean-Luc Mélenchon was not one of them) presented a roadmap for “popular majority” et ” to reinforce “ LFI.
