French presidential race largely unaffected by unrest, first post-riot poll shows
Far-right front-runner Marine Le Pen is still ahead of the pack, and far-left candidate Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon remains in a close race for second place.
Under fire over protests, MĂ©lenchon stands by split with rest of French political spectrum
Throughout the weekend, Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon and his radical-left party, La France Insoumise, criticized the French government‘s crisis management of the protests on Saturday, October 17, and the violence surrounding them. As peaceful demonstrations where LFI supporters again turned out in strength overlapped with violence and looting, LFI continued its strategy of direct confrontation with the authorities, even at the risk of deepening its rift with the rest of the political class and some voters who hold them responsible for the unrest.
Tout pouvoir redoute les rĂ©voltes de la jeunesse. â Interview pour Centre Presse
(October 9, 2026)
Je nâimagine pas cette campagne prĂ©sidentielle comme le simple Ă©noncĂ© dâun programme, mais surtout comme un choix des principes de vie en sociĂ©tĂ©. Cette mĂ©thode nous a dĂ©jĂ permis dâacquĂ©rir une capacitĂ© de rassemblement qui surprend les commentateurs. Dans les analyses fournies Ă propos de notre succĂšs, on parle de qui nous sommes, comment nous agissons, comment nous faisons campagne, nos capacitĂ©s techniques Ă faire campagne⊠Beaucoup voient bien que nous sommes toute une Ă©quipe, au contraire de tous nos concurrents. Mais ce nâest pas ça la leçon essentielle de nos succĂšs. Elle est ailleurs, dans la rĂ©ponse Ă la question : dans quel Ă©tat dâesprit est le peuple français. Que se passe-t-il dans la sociĂ©tĂ© dont nous sommes lâĂ©cho ? Aussi bien quand des jeunes acclament les dĂ©putĂ©s Insoumis qui viennent les voir dans leur facultĂ© ou leur lycĂ©e, ce qui est sans prĂ©cĂ©dent.
France‘s fed-up youth: Can presidential candidates connect with student movement?
Only one party has sided vocally with the students since the very start: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon‘s far-left France Unbowed.
We ask whether that will consolidate his second place in the polls ahead of next spring‘s presidential elections. That would qualify MĂ©lenchon for the May 2 run-off against the far right‘s Marine Le Pen.
La Bastille est reprise. DĂ©monstration puissante de la jeunesse qui porte ses revendications de la plus belle façon qui soit ! FiertĂ© immense. Rendez-vous mardi 13 octobre Ă l‘appel des syndicats de jeunes et des salariĂ©s.

MĂ©lenchon declares âBastille retakenâ after major student rally in Paris
The storming of the Bastille in 1789 marked a major turning point in the French Revolution and became a symbol of the peopleâs resistance to royal authority.
The leader of France Unbowed and his allies have been accused by their opponents of stoking unrest and manipulating young people for political gain. MĂ©lenchon has rejected these criticisms, underlining that despite the fact that his party supports the protests, they were independently launched by students.
The student and professional union coalition has called for another day of protests and strikes on 13 October, with a further major mobilisation planned for 17 October.

Pour la suspension de lâaccord dâassociation UE-IsraĂ«l et la fin de la complicitĂ© de lâEurope dans le gĂ©nocide en Palestine
(January 13, 2026)
Notre demande est simple : lâUnion europĂ©enne doit mettre un terme au commerce et Ă sa coopĂ©ration privilĂ©giĂ©e avec IsraĂ«l en suspendant totalement lâaccord dâassociation !
Avec ses partenaires de lâAlliance de Gauche europĂ©enne et en lien avec les associations, ONG, syndicats mobilisĂ©s contre le gĂ©nocide en Palestine, la France insoumise lance une Initiative Citoyenne EuropĂ©enne (ICE) pour obliger la Commission europĂ©enne Ă enfin agir.
Pour aboutir, elle doit recueillir au moins 1 million de signatures dans au moins 7 pays de lâUE. RĂ©cemment, des initiatives initiatives europĂ©ennes pour garantir le droit Ă lâavortement partout en Europe et pour interdire les thĂ©rapies de conversion contre les personnes LGBTI ont rĂ©coltĂ© suffisamment de signatures pour contraindre la Commission europĂ©enne Ă se saisir du sujet. Nous pouvons faire de mĂȘme pour la Palestine !
Face Ă lâhorreur, ne dĂ©tournons pas les yeux. Unissons-nous pour demander justice pour la Palestine et la fin Ă la complicitĂ© de lâUE dans le gĂ©nocide !
Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon rally in Saint-Denis
Streamed live on Jun 7, 2026
Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon spoke at the national rally launching the 2027 presidential campaign in Saint-Denis on June 7, 2026.
Seine Gegner haben ihn abgeschrieben â doch Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon gibt nicht auf
(June 29, 2026)
»Meine Damen und Herren, Genossinnen und Genossen â hier ist Ihr Kandidat fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon!,« schallte es ĂŒber die StraĂen von Saint-Denis. Anfang des Monats trafen Zehntausende in der Stadt nordöstlich von Paris zusammen. Trotz der brennenden Sonne waren sie gekommen, um den Linken MĂ©lenchon beim Start seines Wahlkampfs fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027 zu erleben.
Es war eine eindrucksvolle Demonstration der Wahlkampfmaschinerie, die MĂ©lenchon seit seiner ersten Kandidatur 2012 aufgebaut hat. Damals hatte er die Parti Socialiste (PS) verlassen, um links von ihr seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.
French Elites Face a Mamdani Moment of Their Own
(July 1, 2026)
Franceâs 2027 presidential election is increasingly looking like a shoo-in for the far right, or at least a hard-fought scrape by the center. But what if something closer to a âMamdani momentâ is in store?
Questions persist over prosecution of radical-left French MEP Rima Hassan for ‚condoning terrorism‘
(April 4, 2026)
On Thursday, expressions of support came almost entirely from LFI and the far-left. For the anti-capitalist NPA, Olivier Besancenot expressed his âsolidarity with Rima Hassanâ on X, as did Nathalie Arthaud, the spokesperson for the Trotskyist Lutte ouvriĂšre (LO).
Two former LFI members, Alexis CorbiĂšre and ClĂ©mentine Autain, also spoke out. âA member of the European Parliament placed in police custody for a retweet? Freedom of expression applied selectively is not the Republic,â said the latter. âThe disproportionate repression of expressions of support for Palestine is clear, it must stop,â wrote the former.
On Friday, a handful of elected representatives from other parties began to join the chorus of criticism, including the communist MP Elsa Faucillon, who deplored a ârelentless campaign revealing the mobilisation of the state apparatus against any solidarity with Palestineâ and the Green MP Benjamin Lucas, who denounced âdouble standardsâ. Another Green MP, Sandrine Rousseau, expressed her âsupportâ for Rima Hassan.
More surprisingly, the socialist MEP ChloĂ© Ridel, a close ally of the Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure, also commented: âEverything about the police custody imposed on the European Member of Parliament Rima Hassan is disproportionate and violates her parliamentary immunity, whatever our disagreements. Was Louis Sarkozy [editor‘s note, son of former president Nicolas Sarkozy and a political commentator] placed in custody when he said about Palestinians âlet them all dieâ?â
Netanyahu violating state sovereignty with complicity of US, Europe: French MP
âAppalled by the scale of the ongoing massacre in Lebanon,â Jean-Luc Melenchon, a left-wing French politician and a former Member of the European Parliament, said in a post on X.
âNetanyahu is violating the sovereignty of states throughout the region with the complicity of Europe and the USA. The genocide in Gaza is spreading without limits.â
Demain, mardi 28 mars, il y a une grande mobilisation intersyndicale. Nous avons besoin que la censure populaire s‘exprime encore avec force. Que soit bloquĂ© tout ce qui peut l‘ĂȘtre. Dans des formes pacifiques. Nous avons montrĂ© que nous en sommes capables. #greve28mars
Ce jeudi 23 mars, rendez-vous Ă 20h sur TF1 pour #LE20H.
Italyâs Election Is Dominated by Postfascists â but the Left Is Raising Its Head
In this carousel of Italian politics, the Left has remained out of the picture for too long. It has not been in parliament since 2008, with the exception of small lists in alliance with the Partito Democratico or MPs who quit other parties. It has thus been fourteen years since an independent left has had its own parliamentary representation in Italy. It is an even greater tragedy if we remember that Italy once had the largest Communist Party in Western Europe and a Left whose presence extended from social movements and trade unions to the world of culture.
This time, however, something has moved. With the launch of Unione Popolare, the Italian left is trying to reorganize itself to return to the political scene.
Schwere Macron-Niederlage: Französisches Parlament schmettert Covid-Gesetze ab
Die französische Opposition konnte sich in der Nacht auf Mittwoch im Parlament gegen die Regierung durchsetzen. Weite Teile des Covid-Gesetzes wurden damit verhindert. Die gesetzliche Möglichkeit, den GrĂŒnen Pass in Frankreich wieder einzufĂŒhren, konnte damit abgewendet werden. Eine herbe Niederlage fĂŒr Macron.
Macrons Debakel â eine Niederlage fĂŒr Deutschland
https://www.welt.de/debatte/article239456427/Macrons-Debakel-eine-Niederlage-fuer-Deutschland.html
If you‘re confused as to who WON… no one? Macron far, far lower than he thought 7 weeks ago, & failed at majority. Left far higher than it cd have imagined then, & will be 2nd force, but won‘t govern & came to expect more. Conservatives drop, but will be key bloc for Macron
LibĂ©rez vous de vos prĂ©jugĂ©s, de la cupiditĂ©, du mĂ©pris. LibĂ©rez vous, pour libĂ©rer la sociĂ©tĂ© ! Si vous commencez Ă voir dans chaque visage humain, non pas ce qui est diffĂ©rent de vous, mais ce qui est semblable, vous deviendrez cet ĂȘtre inouĂŻ : l‘HumanitĂ©. J‘ai confiance.
Toutes les possibilitĂ©s sont entre vos mains. Le grand jaillissement de l‘Histoire, de la France des rĂ©bellions et rĂ©volutions, a un visage. Celui de la #NUPES. Pas un instant, nous ne renonçons Ă l‘ambition de gouverner et d‘amener le pays Ă un autre horizon.
Macron verliert absolute Mehrheit
Am Abend sagte MĂ©lenchon vor AnhĂ€ngern, das Ergebnis sei „total unerwartet“. Er griff Macron scharf an: „Das ist ein totales Debakel der PrĂ€sidentenpartei.“ Sein Lager habe sein Ziel erreicht, Macron die parlamentarische Mehrheit zu entziehen.
Er erneuerte den Anspruch des von ihm gefĂŒhrten LinksbĂŒndnisses, das Land regieren zu wollen. „Alle Möglichkeiten sind in eurer Hand“, rief er vor seinen Zuhörern.

Heute Wahl-Entscheidung in Frankreich – Wie mĂ€chtig wird der linke Deutschland-Hasser?
Something Extraordinary Is Happening in France
In a country as complex, large and diverse as theirs, a political system designed to concentrate authority in the hands of a single head of state maybe isnât the best way of reflecting popular will. And perhaps, after 64 years, itâs time to try something new.
Abschied von der absoluten Mehrheit?
Dass es ĂŒberhaupt so weit kommen könnte, ist dem links-auĂen Politiker Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon geschuldet. Mit dem links-grĂŒnen WahlbĂŒndnis Nupes aus seiner Partei La France Insoumise, den GrĂŒnen, Sozialisten und Kommunisten hat er ein Gegengewicht zu Macrons Mitte geschaffen und einen extrem linken Gegenentwurf zur sozialliberalen Politik des PrĂ€sidenten prĂ€sentiert.
Französische Parlamentswahl in Endrunde
Das neue linke BĂŒndnis aus Linkspartei, Sozialisten, GrĂŒnen und Kommunisten, angefĂŒhrt von Linkspolitiker Jean-Luc Melenchon, kann auf deutlich mehr Sitze im Parlament hoffen. Sollte das Mitte-Lager des PrĂ€sidenten nur eine relative Mehrheit erreichen, wĂ€ren der PrĂ€sident und die Regierung gezwungen, UnterstĂŒtzung aus den anderen Lagern zu suchen.
