But the far-left founder of France Unbowed (LFI) has been heavily criticised over his early comments on Israel and Gaza and recent statements seen as downplaying antisemitism.

The secretary general of the Party of European Socialists (PES) Giacomo Filibeck has said his political family will "not be sitting at the table" with the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) if it allows far-right forces to shape the priorities of the next mandate. Days after the EPP emerged as the biggest party in the European elections - paving the way for its lead candidate Ursula von der Leyen to have a first shot at securing a second term at the Commission's helm - Filibeck said she will not be able rely on the centre-left's backing if she continues to open up to radical right-wing...
