Presidential 2027: "I have only one reasonable thing to propose to you: everything must change," says Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the introduction to his meeting in Bourget

Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his supporters held a large rally in Bourget, showcasing their presidential program with 17,000 to 20,000 attendees. The event followed the release of their updated program featuring 1,069 proposals. Mélenchon emphasized the movement's strength and called for personal commitment to anti-racism, linking it to recent violent events. He urged for significant political change, addressing various crises, particularly climate change. The choice of venue is historically significant, recalling past socialist campaigns, particularly those of François Hollande and François Mitterrand, figures Mélenchon respects despite his criticisms of their policies.
