'We must change everything': French far-left leader Mélenchon launches presidential programme
French far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon officially announced his 2027 presidential election programme on Saturday, proposing to raise France's minimum wage, cap food prices and restore retirement age to 60.
The announcement comes as Mélenchon solidifies his position as a leading progressive voice in French politics. His programme centers on addressing economic inequality through concrete measures that directly impact workers' purchasing power and retirement security.
Economic Focus
The proposals represent a significant shift toward more interventionist economic policies, targeting basic necessities and labor conditions. With the 2027 election approaching, these positions will likely shape the broader political discourse on social welfare and economic justice.
