Overview
- Les Écologistes will hold a federal council on October 4–5 to validate the nomination process, with the first round of the party primary scheduled for December 5–8.
- Publication of Demain ...si tout va bien by Albin Michel reinforces Tondelier’s positioning for 2027 and her call for a cross‑left primary.
- The book outlines priorities such as combating loneliness, putting childhood at the center of government action, and advancing a ‘popular, joyful and demanding’ ecology, with empathy as a guiding principle.
- Tondelier maintains pressure for a unified candidacy even as Jean‑Luc Mélenchon and Raphaël Glucksmann have repeatedly refused to join a cross‑left primary.
- Internal critics accuse her of tightening control over the party to limit competition, and she has urged a rapid censure of Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu after recent budget announcements.
