2027 presidential election: Roussel compares Retailleau to Putin, Le Pen supports Bardella, Glucksmann rejected by the left

Did you have a good Sunday? We are delighted for you, we followed the political broadcasts of the day, read the political pages of the daily newspapers... In short, we scrutinized the little sentences, the facts and the gestures of the 2027 presidential election. Here is what to remember 196 days from April 18, 2027, date of the first round.

Sentence of the day

“The banning of parties is the symbol of dictatorial regimes. This is what Putin did in Russia. »

And to the question: “So you compare Bruno Retailleau to Vladimir Putin? », the communist candidate replied: “We can, yes. » Everyone has their own comments in recent days on rebellious France and Bruno Retailleau's idea of ​​banning the party. The latter accused LFI of “organizing the insurrection” around the high school students’ movement. For Fabien Roussel this possible ban is not possible.

The communist candidate believed that the causes of the malaise must be addressed. “The central problem is young people who are suffering” and the education policy which is “mistreated by the government”, he said on BFM.

The “camaraderie” of the day

The RN keeps its line. The party executives, Jean-Philippe Tanguy and Laurent Jacobelli, continued on Sunday to “stand together behind Jordan Bardella”, accused of anti-Semitic writings, and targeted Mediapart, at the origin of the revelations, by questioning the investigation methods used.

“Jordan Bardella never wrote, uttered or thought these words. I am deeply convinced of this,” assured Laurent Jacobelli, deputy and spokesperson for the RN, guest of LCI. “Accusing an innocent person of having […] participated in the most odious ideology that the Earth has ever had, it is not just an anecdote or just a reminder of a youthful error, it is an infamous, odious accusation,” insisted the deputy for the Somme on CNews/Europe 1.

On Saturday, the RN presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, sent a laconic message to the newspaper La Tribune Dimanche, reaffirming that she had “complete confidence in Jordan”.

The refusal of the day

And it is an end of inadmissibility for Gabriel Attal. Raphaël Glucksmann's supporters closed the door on Sunday to Gabriel Attal's proposal to form a "grand coalition" with a view to the presidential election including the social democratic left, seeing it as a "communication coup".

This coalition, “not even in a dream”, launched the environmentalist senator Yannick Jadot, support of Raphaël Glucksmann. Because the latter “brings the break with ten years of carelessness, incompetence, arrogance, cynicism, social injustice and climate denial”, he argued.

“The French are expecting a total break with the last 10 years, both on the project for the country and on the way of governing. We will carry out this rupture with our environmentalist and communist comrades,” argued the boss of PS deputies Boris Vallaud.

The eventful primary

This Sunday evening promises to be eventful on the left. On the eve of the last debate of the Social Democratic primary, videos were published in which we can hear Raphaël Glucksmann accused Ségolène Royal of having “done belly dancing” in front of Emmanuel Macron.
