While François Ruffin has launched a call for donations for the presidential campaign of 2027, the deputy of the Somme must now try to unite his camp.
Francois Ruffin has become one of the strong men of the left, and the polls point to him as a potential presidential candidate. In this regard, he has just launched an appeal for donations, with a view to the 2027 campaign. Jean-Luc Mélenchon dubbed him a few weeks ago by writing on his Twitter account: “Francis is ready”.
When questioned, the deputy of the Somme procrastinates. “It is not the moment”, he said on franceinfo. According to someone close to François Ruffin, “he doesn’t want to get carried away, you mustn’t be a moron”.
Against a current
François Ruffin is a former journalist, who made a name for himself by defending Whirlpool employees. Today he invites the entire left to his meetings against the pension reform. To score points with his allies, François Ruffin seeks to soften his image.
It can also be out of step with the political line of the “rebellious”, such as insecurity. “Ruffin seizes on the subjects that the left has dropped so that the working classes vote for Nupes”, analyzes a communist deputy. It is, however, still far from being unanimous in its own camp.
