François Bayrou, former Prime Minister and leader of MoDem, has expressed his desire to organize a major primary for the 2027 presidential election. He stated that this initiative aims to unite all those who reject the extremes in order to designate a single candidate.

In a recent speech, Bayrou warned that the "maximum risk" would be a runoff between the far right and the far left, referring to a potential clash between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

According to him, such a scenario would represent a "catastrophe" that could occur if a candidate capable of uniting all reformist democrats is not found for the second round.],
