2027 French election: Radical left Mélenchon builds campaign platform around idea of a 'new France'

Jean-Luc Mélenchon has made the concept of a "new France" central to his political agenda, evolving from minimal mention in 2022 to a key theme in his program, L'Avenir en commun. The policy book, set for official presentation on November 7, has garnered significant interest, with 10,000 preorders and an initial print run of 130,000 copies. This is a notable increase from the 80,000 initially planned, indicating strong anticipation among supporters. In comparison, 144,000 copies of the previous edition were sold throughout the 2022 campaign.
