Within France Insoumise (LFI), party members expressed strong resistance to the prospect of ecologist deputy Sandrine Rousseau joining the movement. A senior Mélenchon aide described Rousseau as “unmanageable,” reflecting internal tensions over a possible alliance with the Greens before the 2027 presidential election.

At the same time, the digital teams of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal are bolstering cybersecurity defenses in anticipation of potential cyber attacks linked to the upcoming campaign. The party has shifted its most sensitive communications to an encrypted internal messaging system, moving away from platforms such as Signal and Telegram.
