I'm not sharing any personal views on LFI. But they are classified as far-left and they do claim this victory. It's all over French news. Not sure what your arguing against.

From [1] > Mathilde Panot (French pronunciation: [matild pano]; born 15 January 1989) is a far-left French politician who has presided over the La France Insoumise group in the National Assembly since October 2021.

Then, "La France Insoumise" claims the victory and brand this law as "loi Panot" on their own youtube page [2],

Me neither, to be clear.

> they are classified as far-left

By whom? Some small portion of its detractors? Anyway, no need for spreading wrong ideas, regardless the number of people claiming them. French Wikipedia claims this but this is unsubstantiated. Qualifying it as "far" just serves the purpose of wrongly likening it to the Rassemblement National, which is convenient for Macron & its friends. Consequences of LFI or the RN gaining power are radically different.

Now for sure it's not "soft" left.

I believe you when you say LFI pushed this idea. That's very like them.
