Roubaix
On January 31, Jean-Luc Mélenchon visited Roubaix to support David Guiraud, La France Insoumise candidate for mayor in the 2026 municipal elections. This city of nearly 100,000 residents, one of France's poorest, is a key target for the populist movement. A victory could impact the 2027 presidential campaign.
