Symbolic image: various formations of the left united and mobilized by workers. This happened on May 1, when the General Secretary of Ecologists, the Marine Corporal’s Corporal, her colleague of the Socialist Party, Olivier Foret and Deputy Francois -Ruffin -EX of France Insums -they have produced along with workers and trade union figures before the architectural factory in Dankerk. Last week, steel announced a plan for suppressing 600 positions throughout France, more than 200 in the north of the country.

Over the past months, various French media revealed the celebration of a series of discrete meetings between representatives of progressive parties to discuss a possible unique candidate for the 2027 presidential election. The idea is to find a figure with the largest number of opportunities to overcome the extreme law, although the method of designation shares.
Some advocate traditional primary or voting in the order of preferences, while others protect the appointment in Pett the Committee For the leaders of the parties. In any case, as the calendar develops, supporters of the trade union promote their pawns and multiply ads.
Through the interview, also in LibraryFrancois Raffin called progressive formations for the organization of an “elementary Heyer” this week, the events from which the victorious dynamics arises. “What dominates today in the country, and even worse on the left, is disappointment, disappointment,” says Raffin. “This is either the primary strategy or the strategy of depression,” he emphasizes.
Although he does not have official support for any great party, Ruffin is one of the main Outsiders On the left for 2027. The journalist is a documentary journalist recognized by the César award, very focused on employment and de -industrialization, for a long time he developed his career in Insumisa France (LFI) before the differences appeared with the leadership.
In particular, Ruffin criticized the turn in the election strategy, which Menenhon gave the parties after the elections in 2022, in his opinion, having focused on popular areas too much, and this postponed rural territories and small cities, in which extreme law gained a lot of land in the last decade. Soon after, he refused to form.
LFI Trust Mélenchon
Whatever the method of making a decision, Jean-Luk Menhon does not think about participating in any of the processes proposed by other formations. The LFI leader is reluctant to belong to the main model, partly from the disappointments accumulated during the years in the Socialist Party. In addition, they believe that these votes lead to candidates for an obligation who refuse part of the program. “We will never participate in the primary elections: they give an advantage of less controversial candidates and break others who are involved,” he decided in speech in 2023.
In the president of 2022, Menenhon remained less than two percentage points to overcome the sea Le Pen and claim the second round. In the face of 2027, he is sure that he is again imposed as a natural candidate on the left, since he remains a person who will become more in polls. Nevertheless, at the moment they give about 14% of the vote, are still far from 21% of the conservative Eudard Philip or 31% of the extreme right candidate (Jordan Bardell or Marin Le Pen).
Nevertheless, in LFI they still make bets on the ability of Meenchon of the campaign in order to mobilize a young voice and for the fact that if another option is not presented to progressive voters, they will again vote for it.
Unity without “Insumisos”
One of the last published polls prepared by Toluna Harris Interactive for a magazine Manuals Strengthens the arguments of supporters of unitary candidate. This survey says that the candidate, with the support of the Insymsos, socialists, ecologists and communists, may be the second most voted in the first round of the presidential election of 2027 (only for extreme law). More importantly, even without participating in LFI, the progressive alliance will be able to claim this second round.
This is an important fact, because although other formations continue to hold their hands to LFI, the socialists no longer consider the issue of creating this union that includes them. Although the relationship between both sides has always been tense, in recent months, a deterioration seemed to lead them to a point without a return.
In January, the decision of the socialists cannot be censored by the current government aggravated the distance. During the parade on May 1, in Paris there was an attempt to aggression for the deputy PS, Zhirom Gudge, who saw the origin of the incident in dialectical attacks, which Jean-Luke Menenhon and other LFI members dedicated him. The sequence, which resembles a very similar, occurred a year earlier with the socialist Euro -Dipet Rafael Gluxman.
The first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Fore, until recently, the great defender of the union of the entire left -LFI, including – now openly speaks of the Union of the “Novenkhonsky Left” in the face of the president and believes that “insunates are independently.”
Applications that caused the reaction of the coordinator LFI, Manuel Bomard. “Olivier Fure intends to protect the trade union, but excommunication from the most important force on the left,” he said in X. “We need a faithful left -handed one for his beliefs and sincere in his strategic versions to mobilize people and victories.”
In any case, the electoral alliances between them in the face of the municipal elections of the next year seem discarded, and if this year there is a dissolution of the National Assembly, the reprint of the new popular front seems very difficult.
The decisive congress
In the Socialist Party, Olivier Fure, which is presented for the enforcement in the next congress, held in June, has just published an autobiographical book. The gesture, which the French press interpreted as the first step towards the construction of presidential candidate. But before this Foret will have to fight with a hard inner battle.
Like him, the other two candidates refuse to resume connections with LFI. The mayor of the rune Nicholas Mayer-Rossinol proposes to collect social democracy and look at the center; Deputy Boris Vallo, like Fore, speaks of a large progressive alliance without LFI. The problem in this regard is that the idea of open primary elections is worried about most socialists. The defeat of Benoit Hamon in 2017, which received only 6.36% of the vote after the clear receipt of the primaries, is still remembered.
In addition to the Foret, another name that sounds the most in socialist ranks is the name of Rafael Gluxmann, which got a good result as the head of the game in the last European. Gluxmann is currently the only leader on the left capable of shadow in the examinations, with voting figures that vary from 10 to 15%. And a little more than a year, dialectical battles between two men are frequent.
Nevertheless, Glucksmann prefers to go alone and remain at a distance from both negotiations between progressive formations and the internal struggle of PS. In fact, he shares the voting lists with socialists through a small bound side that he founded is called PLACE Publique, and does not participate directly in the PS structure.
Last Friday Gluxmann chose a newspaper I am Mond To announce that he will not participate in any primary elections and that he rejects any coalition in which LFI is involved. “Democracy means the assumption of peace and France and present it to voters. This is what Jean-Luk Menenhon did in 2017 and 2022, and everything went well, ”Eurol explained in a long interview. “On the left there are two clear and dominant poles. One is structured around LFI. We begin to structure another during the European elections. And he woke enthusiasm. This is the path that we must continue together. ”
