metadata.value: The article considers the position of forces on the left flank of the French party-political spectrum
  from the point of view of the attitude of the main parties and movements towards the
  prospects of European integration. The author focuses on the French Socialist Party (FSP), in
  respect to which internal contradictions between Eurooptimists and Eurosceptics have become
  a reflection of the fundamental doctrinal conflict. Emerged at the creation of the party
  at the beginning of the 20th century, it found his intermediate solution in the form of a model
  of the development of French socialism, proposed by F. Mitterrand in the 1970s. However,
  its exhaustion by the mid-2000s intensified the conflict, a significant manifestation of which
  was the split of the party over the attitude towards the EU Constitution in 2005. The defeat of
  the party during the elections of 2017 and the outlined prospect of its further degradation are
  largely related to this circumstance. The position of the forces “to the left of the left”, traditionally
  maintaining Eurosceptic stances, is considered separately. Historically, the Trotskyists are
  active here, whose attitude towards modern European integration, however, is ambiguous.
  Considering it at large as a globalistic project, they, in the main, are not inclined to demand
  the immediate withdrawal of France from the EU. The main role among the forces “to the left
  of the left” is currently played by the movement J.-L. Mélenchon, which by 2017 had largely
  pushed the FSP on the left flank as a whole. While it has benefited from the growth of mass
  Eurosceptic sentiments in the country, the problem remains of putting forward a constructive
  program aimed at real reform of the EU.
