Overview

• Dominique de Villepin officially launched Humanist France on June 24 as a new political platform two years before the presidential vote.
• He stopped short of declaring a 2027 candidacy but framed the party as a vehicle for national unity against political polarization.
• The party’s agenda includes repealing the 2023 pension reform and defending social justice and the republic’s foundations.
• Polls indicate de Villepin’s anti-war stance on Iraq and Gaza has bolstered his popularity, particularly among left-wing voters.
• Uncertainty persists in the 2027 race with Macron ineligible, Édouard Philippe confirmed as a contender and Marine Le Pen’s bid under legal challenge.
