2027 Presidential Campaign: Natacha Polony structures her candidacy
In late October 2026, Natacha Polony announced she had conducted her first weekend of militant canvassing across France and launched a call for donations for her campaign. She then debated on France 5 about identityism, stating that « the social question has been replaced by the identity question » and judging this obsession « deeply unhealthy ». She highlighted thousands of testimonies collected via her grievance notebooks, available online, and advocated for a peace in Europe built with Russia. Early November, Jean-Pierre Chevènement offered his support for her candidacy and she claims 174 mayor endorsement pledges out of the 500 required. Finally, she promises a school programming law and a 20 to 30% increase in teachers' salaries, arguing that the government has allowed teenage student anger to intensify.

Angle comparison for the whole story
The three sides mainly cover the same factual announcements (Chevènement's support, 174 mayor endorsement pledges), but the centre expands further to campaign themes (school, teachers' salaries, teenage anger) while the left and right focus on the former minister's support and the tally of endorsements.
Left
Emphasizes the support of Jean-Pierre Chevènement, presented as a former Socialist minister, and Polony's remarks about a democracy that « works poorly » and a sovereignty of the people that is not heard.
Centre
Stresses the count of endorsements (174 out of 500, with more than 300 remaining) and programmatic promises: a school programming law, a 20 to 30% increase in teachers' salaries, criticism of the government over teenage anger. Also notes that the endorsers would be « largely women ».
Right
Presents Polony as a « sovereignist » candidate, highlights Chevènement's support received at her invitation and the figure of 174 endorsement pledges.
