Fabien Roussel, leader of the French Communist Party, has promised not to attack Jean-Luc Mélenchon too sharply during the presidential campaign. His campaign director, senator Ian Brossat, told La Tribune that 'we will not fall into aggressiveness', signalling an attempt to keep left-wing infighting under control. Commenters reacted with irony, suggesting the pledge may be hard to keep as the contest intensifies.
