The question is not new, but the left in the spring of the closet before its political re -entry, which begins this Thursday, August 21 with the summer universities of France and rebel environmentalists: Is a candidacy of the Union necessary, even the same champion, for the 2027 presidential election?
“Yes” supporters, such as those of “No” have had the opportunity to remember their positions in recent hours through different media.
“Do not permanently reproduce scenarios that have lost”
Marine Tondelier is part of the first camp. During an interview for liberation, the National Secretary of Ecologists again defends the need for a single left candidacy.
Remembering that the alliance of the new Popular Front was born in the last legislative elections against the emergence of the extreme right, questions: “Who can sincerely think that there would be, in 2025, 2026 and 2027 plus the luxury of the division than in 2024?”
Alexis Corbière is in the same line. Excluded from the rebel of France during the legislative elections of 2024 as other figures of the movement (François Ruffin, Raquel Garrido, Daniele Simonnet, Clémentine Atain …), the deputy of Seine-Saint-Denis has been launching since then to assume the union, seeing there “a path of victory.”
“We must not permanently reproduce scenarios that lost in the previous elections,” he warns this ex very close to Jean-Luc Mélenchon in an online interview on Thursday night from Le Figaro. Before warning those who would be tempted by a solo escape:
“The competition to find out who will have the most beautiful tomb in the political cemetery of the left is the disorder.”
Olivier Faure with Marine Tondelier this Thursday
Marine Tondelier as Alexis Corbière will have the opportunity to renew her message very soon.
The first is organized with the environmentalists this Thursday in Strarsburg a “political plenary” together with Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party and partisan also of a union, but without LFI, unlike Marine Tondelier and the “purged” of the Jean-Luc Mélenchon movement that wants a broader possible opening.
The latter will meet in Châteaudun (Eure-Et-Loir) on Saturday, August 30, also in the presence of generation party members.
By invitation of the latter, all the elected officials mentioned here, even in particular Marino Tondelier and Olivier Faure, had gone to Bagneux on July 2 to make the “oath” to have a “common candidate.”
“Who is not a candidate among those who want a unique candidacy?”
Its main opponents are known. In addition, Marine Tondelier did not deprived themselves to quote them in her interview with Liberation: “Raphaël Glucksmann and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.” I reluctant to the idea of a principal different from the uniters, the responsibility of the public square and the leader of the rebellious France have a position that “will be increasingly difficult to maintain,” according to the pattern of environmentalists.
“I do not understand how, with the anti -fascist conviction that they have one and the other linked to the body and I know how to declare with a lot of emphasis, they can assume that they occur at all costs, while the risk of seeing France changing to the right is so strong,” he deals.
The spike did not go unnoticed. Deputy Paul Vannier, who is also responsible for the Pole Elections in LFI, was responsible for responding without taking tweezers. Given that Marine Tondelier declares himself as a candidate during this interview, says that environmentalists “will present a strong candidacy for this primary”, the rebel question in the social network X:
“But who is not a candidate among those who want a unique candidacy? Who believes that the PS will be put behind the greens? How long will this ball masked?”
Follow an exchange with Environmental Senator Thomas Dossus. “Who believes that permanent division will lead to victory?” He asked him. “Type Question,” he answers the interested party, sharing a BFMTV article, dating from December 2022, where Marine Tondelier was annoying “forces” that pushed to a common left in the European elections of 2024.
Namely … In -Insoumis, less successful, less successful than its environmental partners for the European ballot, even if they reversed this trend in 2024, obtaining almost 10% of the votes where the green list reached a little more than 5% of the votes.
“Very different political proposals”
In the merits, the rebel coordinator Manuel Bompard called this Thursday in RTL to be “Frank” and “end” a “form of hypocrisy.” This “would be to make believe that it would be possible to have a single candidacy between different political parties that sometimes have very different political proposals,” according to the deputy of Bouches-Du-Rhône.
And to specify: “I am not particularly speaking of Marino Tondelier with whom we have made common candidates in the last legislative elections. But I read, for example, an interview with Raphaël Glucksmann, who defends the political positions that are not those of France Rebelde.”
The Eurodiputa, who again combined with the Socialist Party in the last Europeans and ended at the top of the left, poses for some time the first milestones of a candidacy for the Conlysée. Regarding the possibility of a union, advocates the same arguments as the rebels. Once it is not usual as it is and the rebels have distinguished themselves especially because of their mutual hostility.
“I don’t want to pretend to be anything”
“We all know that there will be two political offers in 2027 that are not soluble to each other,” said this Mercedi in an interview for Mediapart. “We do not have the same vision of France, Europe, the world, and that our approaches to democracy as public debate oppose.”
Just as LFI, Raphaël Glucksmann calls into question the sincerity of the Unitaire approach: “Invite the rebels to the meetings while I hope they do not come, so that they use the disunity hats, that does not interest me. I do not want to pretend that they are nothing and assume everything,” he said, adding again:
“For my part, I will not play in Lenin in the opposition to make social liberalism once in power. I want every pronounced word to commit us.”
In his eyes, this approach will not weigh to the left: “The only way to expand the electoral spectrum of the left is to have two candidates, reflecting alleged substantive differences,” he said, referring to the victory of François Mitterrand in 1981.
An excursion that has the merit of being clear. And who says a lot about the work that awaits the defenders of a great rally. That is good: on the left, the holidays have ended. Give way to summer universities.
