They keep saying leftists won, but it seems to be coalition with centrists?

Is this just Western media calling liberals leftists again or did France actually elect a real leftist government?

le pen couldn't keep her racism towards one of france's most famous footballers to herself and the left coalition aligned itself well with the centrist coalition to avoid splitting the vote for most races and Macron is extremely unpopular. result: le pen's national rally makes gains overall, comprises most of the right block, which can't be said for melenchon's or macron's parties. a modest win for a slapdash modestly left coalition in terms of stopgapping macron and the fascists, but in the midst of gains for the fascists.
