French government accused of casting opposition as 'terrorists'
Original: Quand le gouvernement parle de "proxys" à propos de LFI, c'est un vocabulaire lié au terrorisme. Quand il le fait d'embl
Criticism is mounting in France over the government's use of the word 'proxies' when referring to La France Insoumise. Commenters argue the term belongs to counter-terrorism vocabulary, and that applying it to a parliamentary opposition without evidence amounts to defamation and conspiracy-mongering. The broader concern raised is that ministers are trying to portray lawful political opponents as terrorists, a move critics call dangerous for democratic debate.
Why now: The government's rhetoric linking LFI to foreign 'proxies' is being widely criticised as an attempt to delegitimise the opposition.
