Mélenchon’s LFI Publishes 1,069‑Point Ecological, Collectivist Program as Campaign Momentum Grows

Overview

• The movement released the updated L'Avenir en commun on Friday with 1,069 measures, including 238 new proposals built around state‑led ecological planning.
• The program proposes major reforms such as creating ecological regions, enshrining a constitutional 'green rule', phasing out nuclear power, raising the SMIC to €1,700 net, and expanding universal social protection.
• LFI has translated the publication into campaign energy by calling a large meeting at Le Bourget with 17,000–20,000 registered supporters and winning ralliements on the left, including most deputies of the communist group; poll averages place Mélenchon near 18% in first‑round intentions.
• The movement says it has mobilized a network of senior civil servants called 'les Phrygiens' to sketch implementation plans, with coverage reporting the network at between several dozen and roughly 200 officials.
• Key missing detail remains a full financing plan, promised for early 2027, and the program’s non‑aligned foreign‑policy proposals and heavy public‑spending aims are likely to drive fiscal scrutiny and diplomatic debate in the months ahead.
