2027 presidential election: tensions in the center and on the right

In late October 2026, Macronist elected officials call for another candidate than Édouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal, citing their stagnation in the polls. A Terra Nova note highlights the concern of center and center-left voters, while Édouard Philippe's decline revives the debate over a right-wing primary. Jean-Luc Mélenchon develops a strategy aimed at erasing the center from the political chessboard and pushing the Socialist Party into the fascist camp. On October 30 and 31, poll analyses show a progression of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Marine Le Pen and Raphaël Glucksmann and a decline of the center, in a campaign where candidates limit their travel on the ground and where new candidacies could be declared.
