Overview
- La France insoumise released the 1,069‑proposal programme 'L'Avenir en commun' and Jean‑Luc Mélenchon presented it at a large Bourget meeting on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
- The programme promises to challenge key EU constraints by seeking treaty changes, suspending rules seen as 'blocking' and placing the European Central Bank under democratic control.
- On security policy the text calls for immediate withdrawal from NATO's integrated command and a staged exit from the alliance while stressing military independence.
- The document is vague about Ukraine, giving few concrete commitments on continued military support, and that ambiguity has drawn concern from analysts and opponents.
- Polls show Mélenchon rising to about 17.5–18% and the campaign plans alliance outreach and a financial costing to be published in early 2027, while critics warn of legal, diplomatic and market risks.
