French President Emmanuel Macron aims to form a broad political coalition to prevent the far-right's victory in the 2027 presidential elections. This coalition would unite moderate left, center, and right figures, avoiding a final duel between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Macron prefers coalition-building over primary elections for a common candidate, seeking to establish a governing majority. He believes current candidates lack impactful proposals and should develop a joint political project. Although he cannot run in 2027, Macron's strategy focuses on creating an alternative to extreme candidates. His priority remains fostering an international alliance for strategic autonomy from the US and China, involving countries like Canada and Australia. Currently, the coalition idea is a political direction rather than an official agreement among parties.
