Macronists Relaunch Youth Wing as ‘Jeunes en marche’ to Shape Succession

The group’s renaming marks an effort to ensure the Macronist project endures after 2027

Overview

  • Delegates at the Cirque d’Hiver approved the name change to Jeunes en marche with nearly 70 percent support from 2,500 voters.
  • Macron made an unannounced appearance at the 10th-anniversary meeting to urge young activists to remain united and warned against early focus on the 2027 campaign.
  • He pledged to need their support “in two years, in five years, in ten years,” framing youth mobilization as central to his long-term vision.
  • Gabriel Attal outlined a “new path” for the 2027 election and signaled his ambition as a leading contender for the party’s nomination.
  • Ambroise Méjean is set to hand over the youth leadership in September as the movement reorganizes to defend centrist governance during parliamentary deadlock.
