Sophia Chikirou from La France Insoumise has doubled down on her controversial remarks calling journalists 'little Nazis' in the wake of heightened tensions between the political party and the media.
In a tumultuous period following the fatal lynching of Quentin Deranque, the leftist French political party La France Insoumise (LFI) has intensified its criticism of the media. Just last week, Jean-Luc Mélenchon organized a press conference exclusively with 'alternative digital media' sympathetic to his leftist agenda, suggesting a strategic move to distance the party from mainstream journalism. Amidst this backdrop, Sophia Chikirou, an elected representative of LFI and a candidate for the Paris mayoralty, has not shied away from a confrontational stance toward journalists, labeling them as 'fascists' and asserting her position on the matter during an interview on Franceinfo.
