Presentation of LFI

La France Insoumise (LFI or FI, litterally "France Unbowed") is the left-wing populist political party launched in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, former co-president of the Parti de Gauche.
The party uses the lower case Greek letter phi (FI) as its logotype.
It recalls the name of the party, the birth of Athenian democracy, harmony, the golden ratio and intends to evoke hope in a Sixth Republic (an upturned 6) or someone raising his fist.

After the failure of the union of the left at the beginning of 2021, in view of the French presidential election of 2022, Jean-Luc Mélenchon launched a new movement, L'Union Popuaire (Popular Union), in October of the same year: a framework that aimed to be very broad, flexible, going beyond the party activists to unite the people around hiscandidacy. During the campaign, a flag bearing the emblem of LFI and the logo of the Popular Union, on a background grading from purple to reddish, was used.
Pictures of the flag: photo, photo, photo (2022).
