After weeks of protests against rising living costs, Jean-Luc Melenchon announced his electoral program, including raising the minimum wage and reducing essential goods prices. He called for France to exit NATO's military command and advocated for global nuclear disarmament. Melenchon criticized President Macron's administration and Marine Le Pen's ideas, positioning himself as a strong leftist candidate for the 2027 presidential elections. Despite potential competition with Le Pen, recent polls suggest he may lose in the second round.
