The European 'united front' type parties include all communist varieties and they are not social democrats. They include everyone from Anarcho Syndicalists to Stalinists to Maoists to plain Marxist-Leninists and all the other varieties.
For social democrats, you look at center-left (or actually, center) parties. They use the name 'socialist' in the name. Whenever you see one, you are looking at centrist social democrats.
The reason why this left coalition with majority centrists is able to do pro-people reforms and fight big money is because the communist coalition partner is pushing hard for it. (And also all of these was signed in the pre-coalition agreement).
So its probably the most successful left wing government in West Europe in the last 40 yeras for that reason. They were able to pass major reforms ranging from the labor reform that now protects 'contractors' to raising the minimum wage two times, from rent control to the new minimum income law among many others. I totally did not expect that they would be able to succeed in that much. It was quite a surprise.
