Overview
- A CSA survey for Le Journal du Dimanche finds strong support among right‑wing sympathizers for a broad alliance ahead of 2027, including 66% of LR, 63% of RN and 89% of Reconquête backers.
- In the same polling, 38% of respondents prefer Jordan Bardella to head a potential coalition, compared with 22% for Marine Le Pen and 12% for Bruno Retailleau, according to Europe 1’s summary.
- Jordan Bardella signals the RN favors negotiating an accord de gouvernement after the vote rather than forming a formal pre‑electoral coalition.
- Bruno Retailleau argues unity should be achieved at the ballot box without top‑down deals, while the CSA/JDD poll shows him leading within LR as a prospective standard‑bearer over Laurent Wauquiez.
- Grassroots deals are multiplying and testing party lines, with LR suspending Haut‑Rhin chief Alain Kott after he joined an RN‑UDR list in Colmar and cross‑party local lists emerging in places like the Var and Bourg‑en‑Bresse.
