Gauche caviar

Izquierda caviar (también izquierda de salón o de postín y en ocasiones progre o pijoprogre) es una expresión política de uso coloquial y peyorativo utilizado para referirse a aquellos que proclaman tener ideas de izquierda pero que mantienen una vida lujosa o alejada de los ideales que algunos[1] suponen propios de una política de izquierdas.

Gauche caviar (Caviar left) is a pejorative French term to describe someone who claims to be a socialist while living in a way that contradicts socialist values. The expression is a political neologism dating from the 1980s and implies a degree of hypocrisy.[citation needed]

It is broadly similar to the English champagne socialist, the American Limousine liberal, the German "Salonsozialist" and the Italian "Radical Chic". Similar terms in English include Hampstead liberal, liberal elite, chardonnay socialist, champagne socialist, champagne-and-caviar socialist.

The dictionary Petit Larousse defines "left caviar" as a pejorative expression for a "Progressivism combined with a taste for society life and its accoutrements".[1][clarification needed]

The term was once prevalent in Parisian circles, applied deprecatingly to those who professed allegiance to the Socialist Party, but who maintained a far from proletariat lifestyle that distinguished them from the working-class base of the French Socialist Party.

It was often employed by detractors of François Mitterrand.[2][3]
