...English speaking person would describe it by mixing “left” and “libertarian.”

In France, 'libertarian' likely means anarchist. Probably, socialist-anarchist.

No, in France, liberal, or libertarian means conservative. Again, I speak French.

I confirm. This guy Siné and this rag are deeply Marxist. They are also very successful and the staff is paid handsomely compared to your average journalist. So it's an incarnation of the caviar Left, with a hint of anarchistic tendancies to conceal their profound hypocrisy.

They are definitely not among the French supporters of Libertarianism in the US sense. They either ignore or hate Rand, von Mises, Hayek.
