Jean-Luc Mélenchon France insoumise 2027 presidential campaign program, Digi Mart USA News (Le Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis, France): One of the official campaign posters for candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon was unveiled on social media on Friday, November 6, while his book-program has appeared in bookstores across France ahead of its official presentation. The presentation is scheduled for Saturday at a rally in Le Bourget, in the Seine-Saint-Denis department.
The poster shows Mélenchon in a bust portrait in front of a view of Gergovie in Auvergne, with the slogan “Liberty, equality, solidarity.” France Unbowed (LFI) has unveiled its new campaign poster and slogan. Mélenchon is described as one of the favorites in the presidential campaign, running neck and neck with the National Rally (RN), and will present his project of 1,000 proposals at the Saturday, November 7 rally.
Since Friday, November 6, the program “L’avenir en commun” (La Dispute publishing house) has been available in bookstores for 4.90 euros. In the postscript, the candidate states that the program proposes to build “an entirely new France.”
According to people close to the candidate, the book-program had more than 10,000 advance orders and is expected to be printed in about 100,000 copies. During the previous campaign in 2022, 144,000 copies were sold, according to Le Monde.
In broad terms, LFI centers its vision for France on ecological transformation, the backbone of the program, and aims to let citizens regain political power, notably through a popular initiative referendum (RIC) and the recall of elected officials, according to BFMTV. The proposals would lay the foundations for a Sixth Republic, based on a new Constitution drafted by an Assembly elected by referendum.
Mélenchon also proposes introducing compulsory voting, modeled on Belgium, and opening polling booths to young people from age 16. This would represent about 1.5 million additional voters.
On Europe, the program drops the idea of leaving the European Union in favor of “a right of objection to certain European policies.” According to the Huffington Post, the goal is to favor France against rules that would constrain its ecological transition or its social programs.
