2027 Presidential Election: Marine Tondelier aims to establish herself as the candidate of ecology and unity

Chosen as the Green Party's candidate for the 2027 presidential election by party members last December, Marine Tondelier is entering the campaign amidst a divided left. The national secretary of the Green Party is seeking to assert herself in the public debate by making the fight against the National Rally one of the main pillars of her candidacy.

Originally from Hénin-Beaumont, in the Pas-de-Calais region, she claims a long-standing commitment to fighting the far right. An opposition councilor in a town governed by the National Rally since 2014, she emphasizes her grassroots experience and presents herself as "the real Marine Le Pen of Hénin-Beaumont," a slogan that encapsulates her desire to directly oppose the far right. Marine Le Pen on his political turf.

The union of the left is at the heart of his strategy

Marine Tondelier has long championed the unification of left-wing forces. She notably participated in the negotiations that led to the creation of the New Popular Front for the 2024 legislative elections. However, the decision by Socialist activists to prioritize a primary limited to certain partners jeopardized the idea of ​​a joint candidacy for the 2027 presidential election.

Forced to continue her campaign without alliances, the Green candidate laments the persistent divisions between the various left-wing parties. At the same time, her party is struggling to broaden its grassroots support, falling far short of the objectives it had set for itself in preparation for the presidential election.

A social and environmental program to broaden its electorate

Marine Tondelier hopes to win over voters in rural areas, former industrial centers, and working-class neighborhoods. Her platform notably advocates phasing out nuclear power, implementing the 2% Zucman tax on assets exceeding €100 million, and restoring the legal retirement age to 62.

Beyond her proposals, the candidate also wants to embody a renewal of political life. By announcing her pregnancy during the campaign, she claims to want to demonstrate that it is possible to reconcile political engagement and motherhood, an unprecedented situation for a candidate in the French presidential election.
