Overview
- Carole Delga’s fifth Rencontres de la Gauche drew about 2,500 attendees and brought together Olivier Faure, Marine Tondelier, Raphaël Glucksmann and PRG leader Guillaume Lacroix, with the PCF represented by Jérémie Bacchi.
- Marine Tondelier argued for an inclusive 2027 primary that would involve LFI, a position greeted with boos, while Raphaël Glucksmann rejected any primary with Jean‑Luc Mélenchon.
- Olivier Faure warned that multiple left candidacies would block access to the presidential runoff and pressed for a single contender outside LFI.
- Tondelier’s participation stirred unease within regional Greens, who issued a motion disapproving engagement with Delga over positions on projects such as the A69 and the LGV.
- With Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu ruling out demands like the Zucman tax and a pension pause, LFI plans to table a censure motion from October 1, and the PS signaled it will press Lecornu for full proposals in a meeting next Friday.
