Marine Tondelier 2027 presidential campaign TF1 interview, Digi Mart USA News (France): Marine Tondelier, the candidate of Les Écologistes in the 2027 presidential election, is the guest on TF1’s 8 p.m. news broadcast on Monday, November 9.
The national secretary of the party, which grew out of the Greens, will answer questions live on set from Gilles Bouleau.
Social crisis, purchasing power and the anger of high-school students are expected to be central topics, as the candidate in the green jacket is questioned on pressing issues of concern to the French, a few months before the first round of voting on April 18.
Tondelier said the key question is not simply rallying behind one candidate or another, but “what path to victory.” She added, “I will not withdraw,” while noting that “the ecologists are ready to join a coalition, to go beyond ourselves for something bigger than us and the others.”
On fuel prices, Tondelier said it is “the least that could be done” to release strategic reserves to lower prices for fuel, arguing that people who have diesel today did so because the state told them to buy diesel.
Asked about the minimum wage (SMIC) increase announced by the government, she said, “At this stage, it is not an increase, it is a provocation.” She added, “You have to be remarkably out of touch to think that will be enough.”
The full interview will be broadcast live on TF1 from 8 p.m., and streamed on TF1info and TF1+.
