Left-wing primary: candidates debate purchasing power measures
Raphaël Glucksmann, Ségolène Royal, Olivier Faure, Jérôme Guedj and Emmanuel Maurel clashed Wednesday on TF1-LCI over purchasing power issues.

The candidates in the left-wing primary faced each other on Wednesday in a televised debate broadcast on TF1-LCI, devoted in particular to questions of purchasing power. Raphaël Glucksmann, Ségolène Royal, Olivier Faure, Jérôme Guedj and Emmanuel Maurel took part in this programme hosted by David Pujadas.
The debate was an opportunity for the candidates to confront their proposals in front of a panel of French people, on subjects such as wage increases, a possible price freeze, as well as the taxation of "mega-inheritances" and "superprofits".
These themes occupy a central place in the campaign of the primary on the left, in the run-up to the 2027 presidential election, as the various candidates seek to stand out on economic and social issues.
The format of the debate, organized in front of a panel of citizens, aimed to directly confront the candidates' proposals with the concrete concerns of the French in terms of the cost of living.
Other debates and deadlines for the primary are expected in the coming weeks, as the campaign continues to be structured between the various candidates of the left.
