Mélenchon’s LFI Publishes 1,069‑Measure Programme and Holds Mass Meeting at the Bourget

Overview

• LFI released a new edition of L'Avenir en commun with 1,069 measures focused on planification écologique, including proposals for eco‑regions, a council for ecological planning, a constitutional 'règle verte', and a phased exit from nuclear power.
• The movement put the book in shops and staged a large meeting at the Parc des expositions du Bourget on Saturday to showcase the programme and display campaign strength with up to 20,000 people registered.
• Recent Ifop polling gives Jean‑Luc Mélenchon around 18% in first‑round intentions, a rise that has him overtaking some center candidates and making a second‑round qualification appear more credible.
• LFI has drawn left‑side ralliements, notably a majority of the parliamentary communist group, and says it has prepared implementation work through a network of senior officials called 'Les Phrygiens'.
• Political and economic critics stress the absence of published financing and detailed costings, which LFI has promised to release in early 2027, making fiscal credibility the next major battleground in the campaign.
