## Resource

France braces for a seismic 2027 presidential race as polls hint at a runoff between far-right National Rally’s Jordan Bardella and far-left France Unbowed’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon — a showdown that could shake the EU to its core. Mélenchon, once written off, is staging a comeback with strong working-class and immigrant support, despite controversies around his rhetoric. Meanwhile, centrist leaders Édouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal are locked in a bitter rivalry, fueling the far-left and far-right’s strategy to fracture the center. With the political landscape deeply polarized, the EU faces an uncertain future as France heads toward a potentially volatile election.
