On the eve of the 2027 election, a diabolical pinch has taken hold: Ms. Le Pen is far ahead in the polls and Mélenchon's far left, buoyed by a powerful campaign, is on the verge of the second round,
You’ve seen the polls, let’s name what is happening: It is a collapse of all those who refuse the extremes,
When the image of the man is tarnished, it is the image of the city that is tarnished,
It is a difficult evening for us, and I fear it is also a difficult evening for our city. That said, this is democracy,
  • Bayrou said, speaking from an art center where his supporters had gathered, shortly after the official results were announced
    Le Mondelemonde.fr/en/politics…
It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, brought together to affirm their common values and to defend their common interests, resigns itself to submission."
