The Socialist Party has filed amendments to impose an interest-free mandatory loan on the 20,000 wealthiest households, repayable in three or four years. This proposal, inspired by the 1983 Mauroy loan and revolutionary measures, aims to reach a budget compromise. The government has rejected it, stating there is no financing problem.
At a meeting in Marseille on March 7, 2026, Jean-Luc Mélenchon sharply criticized the Socialist Party's «irresponsible and dangerous» attitude, one week before the first round of municipal elections. Supporting La France insoumise candidate Sébastien Delogu, he stated that «Marseille will not be swept away by the brown wave» of the Rassemblement national. He also denied antisemitism accusations from his former left-wing allies.

Socialist regional president of Occitanie, Carole Delga, has stated she rejects any alliance with La France insoumise (LFI) for the March 15 and 22 municipal elections, calling it a 'dishonor' and urging a 'clear break' with the party. In an interview with La Tribune, she highlights deep differences on living together, the Republic, and secularism. She does not rule out withdrawals to counter the Rassemblement national (RN), but without merging lists.
