La France insoumise prepares for the 2027 presidential election around Mélenchon

In late October 2026, La France insoumise made mental health a political issue and drew inspiration from Lula's mobilization method, particularly door-to-door canvassing and digital tools, to prepare for 2027. In early November, an investigation questioned the links between the Institut La Boétie and LFI's funding, while the party presented a health plan and former expelled insoumis prepared to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Ahead of the presentation of its program at Le Bourget on November 7, an agreement between Génération.s and LFI is expected, and LFI says it is preparing for the scenario of an RN victory. Nine Communist MPs and three MPs from La Réunion announced their rallying to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, while LFI displays confidence and unveils new elements of its program.
