French hard-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon has unveiled his full manifesto for the 2027 election, containing 1,069 measures, according to The Local.
The La France Insoumise candidate revealed the 212-page manifesto, titled L'avenir en commun, at an event for supporters over the weekend.
The manifesto includes 238 new measures alongside policies carried over from previous election campaigns in 2022 and 2017.
Key economic proposals include raising the net monthly minimum wage to €1,700 and capping business pay ratios at 1:20.
The working week would transition gradually to 32 hours, Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms would be scrapped, and the retirement age lowered to 60.
The manifesto introduces a Zucman tax for individuals worth €100 million or more whose total annual tax bill is under two percent of their assets, while France's wealth tax would apply to all asset types.
Income tax would be split into 14 brackets, inheritance capped at €12 million, and property inheritances limited to five.
On immigration, the document proposes cancelling the 2025 Retailleau memo, repealing recent asylum and immigration laws, and dedicating €1 billion to fighting racism, antisemitism, and islamophobia.
Environmental measures include exiting nuclear power entirely by switching to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2060, creating a compulsory nine-month environmental national service for under-25s, and ending low-emission city zones.
Healthcare changes feature 100 percent reimbursement of health costs via the carte vitale, up to three days of self-certified sick leave, and up to seven days of compassionate leave for the death of a friend.
Foreign policy proposals involve renegotiating EU treaties that conflict with the LFI programme and recognising a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Institutional plans include creating a Sixth Republic with a new constitution, shifting power from the president to parliament, and scrapping Article 49.3.
The party stated that funding details for the manifesto will be revealed at the start of 2027, and voters can use an online simulator on the LFI campaign website to check the impact of the policies.
