Putain
I love how the two most villainous people in the world - Trump and Putin - both have names that are synonymous with farts.
Putain means whore
But pootin' is trumpin'
That's Sophie Chikirou of La France Insoumise (LFI), the leading French left-wing populist party. Apparently, she's also in a relation with the party's founder and long-term leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, so also quite 'prominent'.
Most left-wing populist parties in Europe are financed by Russia while most right-wing populist parties are financed by Russia.
Anything extreme or radical typically is, it makes it harder for traditional parties to govern, and they tend to shift away from the political center themselves as well. It's political disruption, plain and simple.
The right wing parties shift away from the center. Not so much the left leaning parties.
The fuck is she doing slithering up to Putin then? Do they think Lenin’s corpse is suddenly going to bust out of its glass sarcophagus and bring back the CCCP?
They're so obsessed with 'overcoming the system' that they don't care whatsoever who to share the bed with to - allegedly - reach that goal.
That their great benefactor doesn't want them to reach their - or any - goal at all but just plays them like a puppet master to sow constant dissent, is beyond their scope of understanding. Useful idiots.
Fuckin tankies.
Seems to be the French equivalent of Germany's Sahra Wagenknecht. Also nominally left-wing populist, but pro-Russia and taking weird rightwing talking points.
She should be banned from national politics.
They are flying a Russian flag? So they aren't even trying to hide it?
~~No, they are not...~~ Edit: I'm an idiot.

Looks Russian to me, right? Am I seeing it wrong?
No, you are correct. I just looked at her ribbon and didn't pay attention to the actual flag. My mistake, thanks for pointing it out.

Deport her to russia.
By catapult.
Traitors to democracy
im sure she'd enjoy the "gay marriage is non-negotiable" meme being used unironically.

Suuure, everybody knows NATO started that conflict /s
For a long time the penalty for Treason was Death. Just saying.
Treason. Vermin like her should be deported to Russia.
marine le PENNE not useful enogh for you PUTIN, she must be damaged goods at this point and probably needs to find another putin SHILL in france.
It was not NATO tried to knock over Ukraine.
In December 2013, she said in a speech to the US–Ukraine Foundation [uk] that the U.S. had invested over $5 billion on democratic skills and institutions, civic participation, and good governance in Ukraine since 1991.

What's that but the hybrid in a hybrid war?
You can always find an idiot in any country.
Problem is when that idiot finds an increasing number of other idiots voting for them..

Well that's fucking disappointing for an LFI spokesperson to be saying.
Only if you're not paying attention to the party, they always eagerly fit into the worst clichês of far-left. Always siding with dictators, Islamic terrorists, antissemitic propaganda etc.. really much more similar to the RN then they're supporters like to admit.
I've listened to Mélenchon when he came to Montreal, and I've listened to a few of his discours online afterwards. I did not hear any of the things you're describing. I also don't trust the accusations you're making because it's exactly the kind of shit neoliberal centrists have been accusing the Left of since the Iraq War, all the while actually doing all of the same things in practice. So I'm giving LFI the benefit of the doubt in general and I'm disappointed about this in particular.

The very sad thing is that in France it is the Left doing this. She is a member of La France insoumise, Melanchon's party.
From my understanding, the other problem is that Macron, in the middle of two Putin/fascist parties, is preferring to deal with the historical Fascists.
What puzzles me is that I heard that Melanchon is counting on the votes of young Muslims and other second generation immigrants and I cannot see of any of them would be ok with this.

In a better society politicians like that would be sentenced to clear mine fields.
Is it just me, or does it look AI generated? Here are the things that look off:
- The wind is blowing the flag, but not her hair (it remains perfectly still for the entire duration).
- The tree leaves in the background look like they are phasing/blending when they move with the wind?
- The woman holding the phone in the right of this video seems to be attempting to record, but is not pointing the camera in a reasonable direction?
- There is almost nothing going on in the video apart from the main character.
- They are standing in the woods with speakers at a rally?? Why not in the city? And even a park in the city should have some cityscape in the background?
- ~~Did this happen recently? Green leafy trees are not in season in France yet, I believe?~~ Didn't see the timestamp; it's from 13th of May 2025.
- Behind the woman that is trying to film, there is a flag in the beginning to the video that seems to walk away by itself? And towards the end of the video the woman behind the woman recording is walking away the same direction, and you can see her head (height disparity with whoever would potentially be carrying the aforementioned flag).
Anyone have other independent sources on this event?
Edit: Added things that looks weird.
Edit 2: Alright, this is not AI. It's unfortunate one has to be so skeptical, but that's the world we now find ourselves in...
Is it just me, or does it look AI generated?
It's not
Here is the video f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶a̶ ̶d̶i̶f̶f̶e̶r̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶g̶l̶e̶

The extract begins at 5:30
It's the exact same angle, but this helps. I'm now convinced this is not AI.
Thanks for proving me wrong! It's hard not to be skeptical of videos these days...

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
