La France Insoumise (LFI, "Unsubmissive France") is a French radical left-wing party founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It sits to the left of the Socialist, Green and Communist parties.
LFI calls for a "citizens' revolution"—a "new republic" under a fresh constitution with a less presidential regime, a sharing of wealth "between capital and labour", France leaving NATO, and accommodation with Russia. At the March 2026 mayoral elections LFI took towns of symbolic significance, including the Parisian banlieue of Saint-Denis—won by Bally Bagayoko, of Malian descent—and Roubaix, a big city in the northern rustbelt. An alliance with the Socialists in 2024 has since collapsed. Pollsters at Ifop describe LFI's electoral base as a "magic mix" of educated young voters, ethnic minorities and residents of social housing; in Saint-Denis 43% of residents live in social housing and immigrants make up 38% of the population.
