Ségolène Royal thinks about the 2027 presidential election: "She's right, we can start out as 'losers' and end up President..."

After 2007, 2027? A PS candidate who was unsuccessfully beaten by Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007, Ségolène Royal is "thinking" about running in the 2027 presidential election. "I'm thinking" about running, she said on BFMTV this Tuesday . "Modestly, I'm thinking about it, by going through a primary."

"If I can be of any use, I don't want people to be able to say, 'There was the climate disaster, the disorder, and ultimately, we didn't hear or see it,'" added the former environment minister.

An ambition, praised by activist entrepreneur Flora Ghebali this Thursday on the set of Les Grandes Gueules : "I respect the men and women politicians who gave their lives to the cause, to what they considered right. And the just order and climate disorder that were the foundations of his program in 2007 have still not been implemented after 20 years. His program remains relevant."

"And I'm not sure that young left-wing leaders are doing any better," she adds.

"She has a project, she believes in it, why not," adds educator Abel Boyi. "The primary scenario is her only chance to defy the odds. And recent political history has shown us that you can start out as a loser and end up as President of the Republic, so why not?" he says ironically about François Hollande, president from 2012 to 2017 and former partner of Ségolène Royal.

Ségolène Royal will have to convince the left outside of France Insoumise. The leading figures of this left met on Wednesday. Socialists Olivier Faure and Boris Vallaud, former La France Insoumise MPs François Ruffin and Clémentine Autin, environmentalist Marine Tondelier , and Lucie Castets, candidate for Prime Minister for the New Popular Front (NFP), discussed "the conditions for a joint candidacy" for the 2027 presidential election.

Nothing is decided yet, and everything is only just beginning, and Ségolène Royal seems to have understood this well.
