Ahead of the 2027 French presidential election, several left-wing parties, including the Socialist Party (PS) and the Ecologists, have committed to presenting a joint candidate under the banner "Front populaire 2027." This initiative aims to unify a portion of the left around a common program and candidacy, although it notably excludes La France Insoumise (LFI). Key figures such as François Ruffin, Olivier Faure, and Marine Tondelier have endorsed this approach. Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of Place publique, has emphasized the need for a clear left-wing vision without LFI, describing himself as representing "another Macron possible." The announcement has not been unanimously accepted within the Socialist Party. Additionally, Glucksmann has stated that LFI will not hold mayoral positions in the 2026 municipal elections, underscoring the division between LFI and the other left factions involved in the Front populaire 2027 coalition.
