FYI; its the right accusing Le Pen for being leftish. Its a click bait tItle.

" (..) not a new dig at Le Pen. Critics on the right have long accused her party, the National Rally, of economic incoherence, and Philippe himself slammed them as two-faced during a recent Paris rally. "

Even worse, it's not the actual title of the article.

@HowRu68 @huppakee
It could just be a double-bluff from the Right – targeting "lefties", unhappy with their own leadership, to think oh, maybe MLP isn't so bad after all. 😏

double-bluff

Could be, there is a strategy in place for sure. Seems that this Philippe character is head of Horizons which is centre-right/ liberal. Technically Le Pen( FN)is on the far-right and he's doing this maybe to take voters away from them and from other places.

It's a bit of a low effort article imo.

Not sure if I trust anything Axel Springer does. Propably more intersted in supporting Le Pen then anything else.

The sheer levels of recklessness and irresponsibility on display is maddening.
