La France Insoumise founder Jean-Luc Mélenchon refused to call Hamas a terrorist organization, while Communist Party secretary Fabien Roussel forays into right-wing culture wars. As the far-right continues to gain strength, it calls for the left to reach voters for higher turnout in white working-class rural regions and racially-diverse working-class urban areas. in order to win in the 2024 election.
