How's the person who's currently leading the polls?
Someone made a website with all the corruptions and scandals she is accused of and she is trying to take it down: https://wikidati.fr/
Welp, once again, it seems it's a bit biased.
Dati is very much right leaning, and very much under investogation too.
Her lawyer made a website shutdown that was listing all her cases.
Chikirou is trully such a strange choice. Even tho LFI IS left leaning (far from being tankies tho), Chikirou is... An anomaly ? She has been caught doing homophobe comments, and lately, has made a very strange comment about people not wanting to work 50 hours a week...
I'm not Parisian myself, and if I were to vote acording to my values, the party that would represent it better would be LFI (but not Chijirou, so tough choice), but the "best scenario" would be for Gregoire to be elected.
In 2022, Finland 🇫🇮 and Sweden 🇸🇪, requested to join NATO due to threats from Russia.
It required a vote in the French Parliament.
Every political party voted "Yes". Except two:
🔴 Rassemblement National: Abstention.
🔴 LFI: Against.
https://datan.fr/votes/legislature-16/vote_184
So, LFI had political hindsight? After seeing what's happening with NATO in Palestine and in Iran, how on Earth do you think joining NATO was a good idea? Good job Finland and Sweden becoming Trump's lapdogs and destroying your welfare state to buy more F-16s.
After all these things that are happening, if you still consider that anyone becoming a military slave to USA is a good idea... I don't know what to tell you.
Those countries are already EU countries. Russia will not dare to touch them. And if they do, then being in or out of NATO would become the smallest of our problems at that point.
A EU real defence policy would be better, but countries under immediate threats (3--4 years away) curiously lack that patience.
So until we have a real credible alternative to NATO, this is the only alliance available! NATO is not just about promises of mutual help. It includes military cooperation, joined exercises, etc. so that if shit hits the fan, allied military are ready to fight together in an integrated framework.
And that does not prevent NATO members from purchasing non-US equipment, which is what the EU has put up as a policy. France is actually a very good proof of that.
She faces a trial for fraud.
She wants to bring back cars to Rivoli Street

It's a bit hard to see in the pic, but it does label them as "pro-car"
Huh, either I'm completely blind or then op edited the picture 15 minutes ago.
