Matthieu Pigasse was the surprise guest at the La France Insoumise summer school in Châteauneuf-sur-Isère, in the Drôme region, on Saturday. The investment banker and owner of Radio Nova participated in a debate alongside Manuel Bompard, the movement's coordinator. His presence marks an unexpected rapprochement between the world of finance and the radical left.
A deliberate rapprochement with Mélenchon
The head of Radio Nova publicly expressed his alignment with Jean-Luc Mélenchon 's party before activists gathered for this political kickoff. Matthieu Pigasse even went so far as to assert that La France Insoumise (LFI) would win the 2027 presidential election. These statements were welcomed by the movement's leaders present at the event.
This unusual alliance between a banker and La France Insoumise reflects the party's strategy of opening up for the 2027 election. Manuel Bompard gave Matthieu Pigasse a warm welcome at these summer schools, a sign that the movement is seeking to broaden its base of support beyond its traditional electorate.
