    No, it’s just they never know how to translate it and they think their readers are too dumb to understand the party’s name in French. “Nouveau front populaire” or NFP. I don’t know why English news outlets are obsessed about translating party names from foreign countries. Who cares to understand the exact name of the party ? The reader just needs to understand their political alignment, the literal translation of the party name makes no sense, none of the cultural meaning will translate anyway.
