La France Insoumise ([la fʁɑ̃s ɛ̃.su.miz]; variously translated as Unbowed France, France Untamed, Defiant France, The France that does not submit,, France Unbowed, Untamed France, Rebellious France, Indomitable France, or Unsubmissive France) is a left-wing populist and democratic socialist political party in France, launched on 10 February 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, member of the European Parliament and former co-president of the Left Party (PG).
The aim of the movement is to get deputies elected to the National Assembly, during the legislative elections of 2017, in order to implement the programme L'Avenir en commun (English: A shared future) and to summon a constituent assembly, tasked with writing the constitution of a Sixth Republic.
The campaign is directed by Manuel Bompard, national secretary of the PG, its spokesperson is Alexis Corbière, former councilor of Paris and also national secretary of the PG, and its coordinators are Charlotte Girard, lecturer in public law at the Paris Nanterre University and Jacques Généreux, lecturer in economy at the Paris Institute of Political Studies.
The party uses the Greek letter phi as its logo.
La France insoumise was founded on 10 February 2016, based on the belief that traditional parties and political organisations no longer serve democracy, and instead transverse movements are needed. The movement is particularly inspired by the Spanish party Podemos and the candidacy of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party presidential primaries of 2016 in the United States.
