La France Insoumise (FI), a left-wing populist political party in France, was founded in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The party advocates for a range of progressive policies centered on social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic equality.

Minimum Wage and Work Conditions:

FI aims to raise the minimum wage (SMIC) from 1,149 to 1,326 euros per month for a 35-hour workweek. They also propose to reinforce the 35-hour workweek and aim to reduce it further to 32 hours.

Additionally, they support raising salaries for civil servants that have been frozen since 2010.

Retirement Age:

They advocate reducing the retirement age to 60.

Labor Rights:

FI seeks to repeal the El Khomri law, a labor reform they believe undermines workers' rights by reversing the "principle of favor" in labor law​.

Energy Transition:

FI proposes an ambitious plan to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050. This includes shutting down nuclear power plants due to concerns over safety, radioactive waste management, and financial costs.

Green Rule:

They propose a constitutional amendment to ensure that natural resources are used sustainably, aligning human activities with ecological limits​.

Sixth Republic:

FI calls for the formation of a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution for a Sixth Republic, aiming to decentralize power from the presidency and enhance citizen participation.

Recall Elections:

They propose the right to recall elected representatives who fail to fulfill campaign promises or breach ethical standards​.

Trade Agreements:

FI opposes free trade agreements like TTIP and CETA, which they argue undermine national sovereignty and worker protections.

Banking Reform:

They advocate separating investment and retail banking to protect deposit activities from speculative risks and to support small and medium-sized enterprises through a public banking center.

EU Reforms:

FI seeks to renegotiate EU treaties to promote social and environmental policies. If unsuccessful, they propose a "Plan B" to exit these treaties while seeking new forms of cooperation.

NATO:

They propose withdrawing from NATO to avoid participating in wars initiated by the United States, preferring to operate within the framework of the United Nations.

Common Goods Protection:

They emphasize the protection of essential resources such as air, water, and energy, advocating for these to remain public and not commodified.

Public Involvement:

FI supports increased public involvement in political processes, aligning with their broader goal of transitioning to a more participatory democracy​. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, as the figurehead of FI, has been a significant force in French politics, running for the presidency and consistently advocating for these transformative policies to create a more equitable and sustainable society.
