Overview

  • Tondelier vowed to fight “until her last breath” for a single left candidacy even as the Socialists and La France Insoumise commit to separate runs
  • She has invited left party leaders to a July 2 meeting, initially proposed with Lucie Castets, to negotiate a common 2027 ticket
  • The Ecologists insist they will assert their platform fully in any primary rather than play a token role
  • She decried recent rollbacks—ending low-emission zones, restarting the A69 motorway and other reversals—as a “black week” for ecology whose severity is overlooked
  • Tondelier warned that without unity the left risks ceding victory to the far right and facing harsh historical judgment
