Presidential 2027: “Our turn to change history”, launches Jean-Luc Mélenchon during his speech at Le Bourget

Six months before the presidential election, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is holding a meeting on Saturday at Le Bourget. Edouard Philippe is going to the Rencontres de l'avenir in Saint-Raphaël, and Bruno Retailleau will be in Brive-la-Gaillarde.

After Clermont-Ferrand last month and before Le Havre next month, La France insoumise returns this weekend to the Paris region, where it is most established, with a meeting of Jean-Luc Mélenchon at the Bourget exhibition center, in Seine-Saint-Denis. “It’s our turn to change history,” launched Jean-Luc Mélenchon at the start of his speech. As of Friday, 17,000 activists had registered for this event, and up to 20,000 people are ultimately expected. This event follows the release in bookstores, the day before, of the presidential program of the rebels, the new version of "The Future in Common", with 1,069 proposals.

The communist deputies who support LFI have put themselves “outside the party”, according to the PCF. The National Council of the Communist Party announced that any member who supported a candidate other than Fabien Roussel would put themselves "outside the party". This decision targets the four communist deputies, including their leader Stéphane Peu, who announced Friday to support the candidacy of the leader of La France insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Edouard Philippe accuses Jean-Luc Mélenchon of having a “communitarian vision”. If the French had to choose between "the extreme right" of Marine Le Pen and "the radical left", "we would have both for the long term", said Edouard Philippe on Saturday, attacking the "communitarian vision" and "the administered economy" of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “Today, the presidential election is a progressive polarization” between “the candidate of the extreme right and the candidates of the radical left,” estimated the Horizons candidate during a public meeting in La Ciotat.

Marine Le Pen criticizes the LFI program. “The La France insoumise program is not a project to restore the country. It is a project to dismantle France.” After the publication of an updated version of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's presidential project, Marine Le Pen criticized it in almost every way, Saturday on X. She points to an "accumulation of dangerous measures".

Bruno Retailleau travels to Brive-la-Gaillarde. After his presence on Friday at the Rencontres de l'avenir, the contender for the Elysée des Républicains is heading to Corrèze. He says he is in favor of a right and center primary.
