Overview
- At a public convention in Trappes, the Front populaire 2027 confirmed a left primary for autumn 2026, with full details due in the first half of December.
- The Trappes meeting opened program work on education as the first of several thematic conventions to draft a shared platform before the vote.
- Three contenders have declared for the planned primary — François Ruffin, Clémentine Autain and Marine Tondelier — while the Socialist Party has not settled on a candidate.
- Jean‑Luc Mélenchon and Raphaël Glucksmann continue to refuse the process, and the French Communist Party has not formally joined, leaving key parts of the left outside.
- One day after the Trappes event, Raphaël Glucksmann appeared in Pontoise with Bernard Cazeneuve and other social‑democrats, highlighting rival organizing on the left.
