Overview

  • The 5th Rencontres de la Gauche in Bram, organized by Occitanie president Carole Delga, drew an estimated 2,500 participants and deliberately excluded La France insoumise.
  • High‑profile attendees included PS first secretary Olivier Faure, Greens leader Marine Tondelier, Place Publique co‑president Raphaël Glucksmann and PRG leader Guillaume Lacroix, with Fabien Roussel excused and replaced by communist senator Jérémie Bacchi.
  • Delga framed the gathering as building a credible alternative to extremes and abstention, highlighting priorities such as lifting low wages and investing in housing and decarbonized transport.
  • Strategic differences surfaced: Tondelier urged a broad left primary including LFI for 2027, Glucksmann rejected any primary with Jean‑Luc Mélenchon, and Faure warned that multiple candidacies would doom a left bid for the presidency.
  • PS officials, upset after Sébastien Lecornu ruled out an ISF return and a Zucman‑style wealth tax, will meet the Prime Minister on Friday, with reporting noting discussion of a possible censure motion and a union mobilization set for Thursday.
