The French far-left political party, known as Extrême Gauche (EXG), includes groups like La France Insoumise (LFI) and has a strong ideological foundation rooted in socialism and anti-capitalism.
One of their primary goals is to replace the current Fifth Republic with a Sixth Republic. They believe the current system concentrates too much power in the presidency and propose a more democratic structure that includes proportional representation and mechanisms for greater public control over elected officials.
EXG advocates for the repeal of the El Khomri law, which they argue undermines workers' rights. They aim to restore and enhance labor protections to ensure fair treatment and stronger support for workers.
They propose significant changes to the EU's monetary, agricultural, and environmental policies. If these reforms are not possible, they support a "Plan B" which includes the possibility of exiting EU treaties to establish a more cooperative framework among European nations.
Their environmental agenda is ambitious, targeting a complete transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050. This includes shutting down nuclear power plants and implementing a "green rule" to ensure sustainable interaction with nature.
They push for the separation of investment and retail banking to protect deposit activities and the creation of a public banking sector aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. They also propose the protection of common goods (air, water, food, etc.) from commodification.
EXG supports measures such as the right to recall elected representatives who do not fulfill their campaign promises, enhancing public services, and ensuring greater social equity through various social policies. These policies reflect their commitment to radical changes in governance, economy, and environmental practices to create a more equitable and sustainable society
The Exg (Extrême Gauche) is also known as Exg, Extrême Gauche.
