2027 presidential election: preparations and candidate positions

On November 2, 2026, Bruno Le Maire is presented as discreetly working on a candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, while a poll places Marine Le Pen ahead on cultural sovereignty. The same day, Gabriel Attal's merchandise store is mocked online, Franck Allisio warns of a situation he considers worse without the election of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and divisions on the right and in the center intensify as the vote approaches. François Ruffin is making a series of appearances on BFMTV, criticizing Édouard Philippe's recipes and notably proposing to put ministers on the minimum wage. An analysis highlights the RN's rise six months before the election, before an editorial and a new poll evoke a campaign shaken by mobilizations and place Marine Le Pen ahead on the cost of living.
