2027 Presidential Election

Appearing on LCI Monday evening, former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe reaffirmed his resolve to pursue his 2027 presidential candidacy to the end, while conditioning it on his re-election as mayor of Le Havre in March 2026. He also proposed creating a 'narco emergency state' to combat narcotrafficking with exceptional measures. These statements come as he rejects any right-wing primary and remains ahead in center-right polls.
