election. He trails far-right National Rally candidate Marine Le Pen, who is polling at 36%, according to an IFOP poll for broadcaster LCI conducted from 27 to 29 October.<\/p>\n<p>On the question of Europe, the manifesto backs scrapping rules and regulations that do not align with French interests, including those concerning the EU migration pact and European defence. <\/p>\n<p>M\u00e9lenchon&#8217;s party La France insoumise (LFI), known in English as France Unbowed, has also called for reducing France&#8217;s net contribution to the EU budget by around \u20ac9 billion, a proposal reiterated by the party&#8217;s finance spokesman Eric Coquerel in October.<\/p>\n<p>This eurosceptic stance bears some parallels with that of the National Rally, which has pledged to scrap a number of EU regulations and standards, particularly those tied to the business sector, agriculture, energy and environmental policy. <\/p>\n<p>However, while both parties advocate greater national sovereignty and challenge aspects of European integration, their positions are underpinned by different ideological priorities. <\/p>\n<p>The manifesto gives less prominence to Russia&#8217;s war against Ukraine than to France&#8217;s relationship with Israel, accusing the government of allowing &#8220;a genocide to be committed&#8221; in Gaza and condemning what it describes as &#8220;diplomatic double standards&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On Ukraine, the manifesto backs &#8220;a diplomatic framework that would make it possible to secure a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops&#8221;, as well as a gradual withdrawal from NATO, as part of a broader foreign policy based on military independence and non-alignment.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of domestic policies, the party backs retirement at the age of 60, an increase in the minimum wage, legislation to curb the concentration of media ownership, as well as expanded public services.<\/p>\n<p>France Unbowed also proposes tax increases targeting wealthy individuals and major corporations, alongside the removal of several tax breaks. <\/p>\n<p>The measures are expected to generate an estimated \u20ac106.4 billion in additional annual revenue, according to the party&#8217;s proposed 2027 budget, of which \u20ac81.7 billion would finance additional public spending, with the remainder contributing to a reduction in the country&#8217;s public deficit.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as France faces one of the highest levels of public debt in the eurozone, with its financial situation raising concerns among financial markets and drawing scrutiny from the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, M\u00e9lenchon&#8217;s proposal to freeze or effectively cancel part of France&#8217;s public debt held by the Banque de France, as part of the wider Eurosystem overseen by the European Central Bank, has sparked controversy.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal would require a coordinated decision at European level. Both Banque de France Governor Emmanuel Moulin and ECB President Christine Lagarde have argued that such a move would violate EU treaties, particularly Article 123, which prohibits monetary financing of governments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  Marine Le Pen launches presidential campaign with vow to restore &#8216;rule of law&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  French Social democratic primary: Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann wins big in first round<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  France&#8217;s M\u00e9lenchon to stage major campaign rally for manifesto launch<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"perf-cv-auto\">\n<ul id=\"adb-article-tags\" class=\"c-tags-list\">\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<section class=\"tc-cta\" data-twig-component=\"Cta-default\">\n  France<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<section class=\"tc-cta\" data-twig-component=\"Cta-default\">\n  Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<section class=\"tc-cta\" data-twig-component=\"Cta-default\">\n  Presidential elections<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tp-vuukle\">\n<div class=\"c-vuukle-skeleton\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"c-vuukle-skeleton__header\"><span class=\"c-vuukle-skeleton__title\">Comments<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"o-article-newsy__aside\">\n<div class=\"c-ad-wrapper o-article-newsy__aside__content-1\" data-ad-name=\"adzone-halfpage\">\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad-halfpage u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-top-stories\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-top-stories\">\n<h2 class=\"c-top-stories__title\">Top stories<\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-top-stories__item\">\n<article id=\"abe-2939929-pos2-top-stories\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-2 m-modeDesktop-2 the-media-object--no-label\" data-nid=\"2939929\" data-cid=\"9983227\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2939929-label-pos2-top-stories\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/20\/53\/320x180_cmsv2_0e051b46-e7f8-5dab-a34f-221eca074797-9982053.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"President Donald Trump speaks before signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, in Washington.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    EU rejects Trump\u2019s &#8216;big beautiful&#8217;

He trails far-right National Rally candidate Marine Le Pen, who is polling at 36%, according to an IFOP poll for broadcaster LCI conducted from 27 to 29 October.On the question of Europe, the manifesto backs scrapping rules and regulations that do not align with French interests, including those concerning the EU migration pact and European defence.M\u00e9lenchon&#8217;s party La France insoumise (LFI), known in English as France Unbowed, has also called for reducing France&#8217;s net contribution to the EU budget by around \u20ac9 billion, a proposal reiterated by the party&#8217;s finance spokesman Eric Coquerel in October.This eurosceptic stance bears some parallels with that of the National Rally, which has pledged to scrap a number of EU regulations and standards, particularly those tied to the business sector, agriculture, energy and environmental policy.However, while both parties advocate greater national sovereignty and challenge aspects of European integration, their positions are underpinned by different ideological priorities.The manifesto gives less prominence to Russia&#8217;s war against Ukraine than to France&#8217;s relationship with Israel, accusing the government of allowing &#8220;a genocide to be committed&#8221; in Gaza and condemning what it describes as &#8220;diplomatic double standards&#8221;.On Ukraine, the manifesto backs &#8220;a diplomatic framework that would make it possible to secure a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops&#8221;, as well as a gradual withdrawal from NATO, as part of a broader foreign policy based on military independence and non-alignment.In terms of domestic policies, the party backs retirement at the age of 60, an increase in the minimum wage, legislation to curb the concentration of media ownership, as well as expanded public services.France Unbowed also proposes tax increases targeting wealthy individuals and major corporations, alongside the removal of several tax breaks.The measures are expected to generate an estimated \u20ac106.4 billion in additional annual revenue, according to the party&#8217;s proposed 2027 budget, of which \u20ac81.7 billion would finance additional public spending, with the remainder contributing to a reduction in the country&#8217;s public deficit.This comes as France faces one of the highest levels of public debt in the eurozone, with its financial situation raising concerns among financial markets and drawing scrutiny from the European Union.In recent months, M\u00e9lenchon&#8217;s proposal to freeze or effectively cancel part of France&#8217;s public debt held by the Banque de France, as part of the wider Eurosystem overseen by the European Central Bank, has sparked controversy.The proposal would require a coordinated decision at European level. Both Banque de France Governor Emmanuel Moulin and ECB President Christine Lagarde have argued that such a move would violate EU treaties, particularly Article 123, which prohibits monetary financing of governments.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/11\/06\/frances-melenchon-to-stage-major-campaign-rally-for-manifesto-launch&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/25\/19\/1200x675_cmsv2_c278bf32-13a9-5ba0-ab08-524b68abe58d-9982519.jpg&#8221;] USA Trump appoints immigration hardliner Miller as new chief of staff Europe News EU rejects Trump\u2019s &#8216;big beautiful&#8217; security deal with Russia No Comment Switzerland: Giant banner targets Big Tech outside data centre site Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | November 6th, 2026 \u2013 Evening News Europe Europe News France&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2242243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2242243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2242243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2242243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2242243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2242243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2242243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
