Why It Matters
Natacha Polony formalized her candidacy for the 2027 presidential election on October 14. She must collect 500 signatures from elected officials to validate her participation.
There are “174 mayors who have already promised their sponsorship after 15 days,” declared Natacha Polony this Sunday on RTL. The journalist, who formalized her candidacy for the 2027 presidential election on October 14, believes that this figure is “rather encouraging”. To be able to participate in the election she must, like the other candidates, collect 500 signatures from mayors.
These elected officials who have shown their support for him are above all elected officials. It concerns “largely, for example, female mayors who express the fact that they are quite happy to see a renewal of the political class,” said the former editorial director of the weekly Marianne.
Supported by Chevènement
Natacha Polony also said she benefited from the support of Jean-Pierre Chevènement, with whom she had already briefly engaged in politics with a candidacy for the legislative elections in 2002.
The 2002 presidential candidate, left-wing sovereignist and former socialist, “was the only politician who warned at that time about deindustrialization, about France's loss of influence internationally and who made proposals,” praised Natacha Polony who, when tested by polls, is measured at around 1% of voting intentions.
She believes in “a planning state”
Regarding her own political positioning, she defined herself as coming from the “republican left” but being able to “welcome people from the right with pleasure”. “I believe in a planning state,” she added.
Natacha Polony also said “refuse military escalation with Russia” and pleaded for discussions to be held with Vladimir Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine.
“For the moment, discussions are being held absolutely everywhere, except around our table, and that is what worries me,” she declared.
