France's 2027 candidate race begins
The article discusses France's preparations for the 2027 elections, where the rivalry among candidates within the right and center is heating up as they choose their respective representatives for the presidential race. This includes debates over organizing primaries, with some leaders like Bruno Retailleau and Didé Lencar calling for an open invitation to participate, aiming to unify the factions and prevent vote splitting in the face of the far-right progress led by Marine Le Pen. The figures indicate that Retailleau has announced his readiness to run in primaries, despite a decline in his polling numbers, while an internal disagreement persists over the selection process—whether to rely on opinion polls or hold actual primaries. As candidates like Édouard Philippe and Gabriele Atal continue their competition, the right and center face the challenge of uniting their candidates and setting clear rules to avoid vote fragmentation before the elections, all amid difficulties in reaching internal consensus due to multiple ambitions and disagreements over the mechanisms.
