Presidential 2027: the right tries (again) to get into ecology

The article discusses the 2027 French presidential election, highlighting efforts by the right-wing political parties to adopt more ecological policies in order to appeal to voters concerned with environmental issues. It suggests that this shift represents a strategic attempt by traditional conservative factions to align with contemporary values and address growing public demand for sustainability. The piece frames these developments as part of a broader trend where political actors are repositioning their platforms to remain relevant in an increasingly environmentally conscious electorate.

French political parties are intensifying their efforts ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with right-wing candidates attempting to align themselves more closely with ecological concerns. This shift reflects broader trends within the party's strategy to appeal to a wider electorate. The right-wing movement Reconquête, led by Éric Zemmour, has been positioning itself for the upcoming election. While Zemmour is described as the “natural candidate” by Sarah Knafo, a prominent member of the party, he has remained notably quiet in recent months. In contrast, Knafo has been highly visible, engaging in multiple public appearances and media activities. She recently released a book titled Le casse du siècle, which critiques the financial practices of the French government and highlights perceived mismanagement of taxpayers' money. The book, published by the conservative publisher Vincent Bolloré’s company, is over 300 pages long and has sold more than 100,000 copies. Knafo also participated in debates during the party’s summer congress in Le Port-Marly, where she invited controversial streamer Sardoche to engage in discussions. Her presence at these events underscores her growing influence within the party. Meanwhile, Zemmour's personal website shows no upcoming events, suggesting his reduced public engagement. Political analysts suggest that Knafo's rising popularity could challenge Zemmour's position. According to a July poll by Ifop/Fiducial, Knafo received 31% favorable opinions compared to Zemmour's 27%. Additionally, she secured 10% of the vote in the municipal elections in Paris, demonstrating her electoral strength. The political landscape is further complicated by the potential candidacy of Marine Le Pen, who might replace Jordan Bardella, whose policies lean more towards liberalism. This change could create space for Knafo within the right-wing spectrum. Knafo has openly acknowledged this possibility, stating that the current political climate offers opportunities for her to gain traction.
