Marine Tondelier, an ecologist and candidate for the 2027 French presidential election, emphasized her support for a unified left-wing political alliance during an interview on France 2’s program "4 Vérités" on September 9. She addressed several pressing issues, including the rising cost of fuel, support for farmers affected by drought, and a proposed temporary ban on hunting in areas damaged by wildfires. Tondelier criticized the current government's handling of these issues, arguing for targeted aid and higher taxes on oil companies to address the challenges more effectively. Tondelier highlighted the economic strain caused by France’s heavy reliance on imported oil and gas, which she said contributes to the country’s trade deficit. She opposed a government proposal to freeze fuel prices, stating that such a measure would mainly benefit those who can already afford higher prices. Instead, she called for targeted financial support to help those most affected by the rising costs. She also criticized the current government’s aid package for farmers, saying it was inadequate and unevenly distributed, especially for those without insurance coverage. In addition to economic concerns, Tondelier advocated for a three-year moratorium on hunting in areas affected by wildfires, emphasizing the damage to wildlife and ecosystems. She urged the government to act quickly on this issue, despite the government's preference for local authorities to make such decisions. Looking ahead to the 2027 presidential race, Tondelier reaffirmed her candidacy and her commitment to uniting the left-wing political spectrum in France. Despite disagreements with the Socialist Party, she expressed disappointment with their decision to hold separate primaries for European elections and not include other left-wing candidates in their process. While she remains hopeful for a unified left-wing alliance, Tondelier has grown disillusioned with the Socialist Party, believing they have not fully committed to the idea of political unity.
