Marine Tondelier Releases Book, Presses Left Unity as Greens Set December Primary

Her new book signals a bid to lead a single left ticket in 2027.

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.
