No Unified Left Candidate For French Election
Jean-Luc Mélenchon's decision to run independently is seen as a problem by the ecologists, who believe it signals division and disqualification of the left in the second round of the presidential election. The ecologists stated that no one wins alone and that a united left is necessary. This decision follows failed attempts to find a candidate capable of uniting various left-wing factions. Mélenchon will run with the support of La France Insoumise (LFI).

“Il n'y aura pas de front commun, il n'y aura pas de gauche plurielle, puisque Mélenchon a décidé de partir à la bataille.”
