Jean-Luc Mélenchon unveils his program for the 2027 presidential election

On November 5 and 6, 2026, Jean-Luc Mélenchon unveils the new elements of his program for 2027, notably on AI, ecological diseases and discrimination, ahead of the publication of « L'Avenir en commun ». Three Communist deputies from Réunion announce their rallying, while Rima Hassan publishes a book on Palestine and the candidate is credited with nearly 18% in the first round in an Ifop poll. The program provides for one billion euros against racism and an agency under the supervision of Arcom, free gender declaration at civil registry, a phase-out of nuclear and fossil fuels before 2050, as well as proposals on defense and transport. It draws criticism, notably from the PS after a segment on « Quotidien », and is compared with the programs of the rest of the left. The FLNKS announces its support for Jean-Luc Mélenchon ahead of 2027.

Left
