Overview

  • Lucie Castets has formally invited leaders of left-wing and ecological parties to a meeting on July 2 to discuss unifying behind a single presidential candidate for 2027.
  • She proposes several options for candidate selection, including a large-scale primary after the 2026 municipal elections, short party consultations, or a citizens' convention.
  • Castets emphasizes the need for a collective and transparent process to rebuild solidarity among the fragmented left and ecological forces.
  • Her initiative responds to the growing influence of far-right ideas, calling for a unitary effort to protect France’s rule of law and social model.
  • The timing of the proposed meeting aligns with key political milestones, including the June 2025 PS congress and the 2026 municipal elections, to ensure strategic planning.
