French presidential election campaign
Overview
The 2027 French presidential campaign has centered on policy disputes and the economic legacy of the Macron administration. Early debates featured clashes over energy strategy and platform originality, such as when David Lisnard accused Gabriel Attal of copying proposals from his ‘Nouvelle Énergie’ platform. Simultaneously, candidates like Bernard Cazeneuve have advocated for nuclear power as a pillar of decarbonization.
As the election approaches, candidates including Édouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal are attempting to distance themselves from the current administration’s economic record. Key political challenges include addressing a rising unemployment rate, which reached 8.3% in the second quarter of 2026, managing national debt, and navigating the contentious legacy of pension reforms.
