TF1 hosted a balanced debate with key political figures ahead of the legislative elections. The debate highlighted major issues and current poll standings, providing a comprehensive overview of the political landscape.


Balanced Debate on TF1 Ahead of Legislative Elections

The legislative debate broadcast live on TF1 saw balanced speaking times among the three main representatives: Jordan Bardella, Gabriel Attal, and Manuel Bompard. Each had approximately 34 minutes to present their views. Gilles Bouleau and Anne-Claire Coudray hosted the debate, ensuring that the rules were respected in a republican spirit.

Political Landscape Five Days Before Legislative Elections

With just five days to go before the first round of the legislative elections, the political landscape in France is heating up. According to the latest Ipsos poll for Le Parisien and Radio France, the National Rally leads with over 35% of the vote, followed by the New Popular Front at around 29%, and the presidential majority with 19.5%. Jean-Luc Mélenchon has clarified that he is not a candidate for Prime Minister, although a representative from the New Popular Front will be nominated if they win.

Key Issues and Campaign Promises

The debate highlighted key issues such as the revival of purchasing power and stricter policies on security and immigration, which are central to the National Rally's campaign. Meanwhile, internal disagreements within the left-wing coalition continue, particularly regarding the nomination for Prime Minister. Despite these tensions, the debate was conducted respectfully, with Gilles Bouleau humorously concluding the evening by announcing the next program, 'Criminal Minds'.

  • Gilles Bouleau added a touch of humor to the debate's conclusion, which helped to lighten the atmosphere. He thanked the participants and viewers, and then announced the next program, 'Criminal Minds', creating a surprising contrast to the serious tone of the evening.
  • TF1 had to cancel the film 'Premières vacances' to make room for the live debate. This is just one of several programming changes that TV channels have made to cover the legislative elections comprehensively.
  • Raphaël Glucksmann commented on social media that it is now clear Jean-Luc Mélenchon will not be Prime Minister, as all other parties oppose his nomination. This statement comes amid ongoing disagreements within the left regarding the Prime Minister's position.
