Mélenchon is a real leftist who (thus) bears very little resemblance to the mainstream Bernie/AOC/DNC "left" in the US.

He vehemently opposed vaccine mandates/passports; despises Big Tech censorship; opposes NATO's role in Ukraine and NATO itself; hates the EU/globalism, etc. https://t.co/roHSiTe9gs
