S'allier avec Branco et Asselineau ? La réponse de Praxis

Electoral Alliances

Praxis says it will not form an electoral alliance with Juan Branco, François Asselineau, or any other 2027 presidential candidate. Although it shares some of their criticisms—such as concerns about elite influence, corruption, and the political system—it argues that endorsing a candidate would compromise its independence and alienate citizens who support other political currents.

Why Praxis Rejects Electoral Competition

Praxis argues that presidential elections are structurally difficult for outsiders to win. Well-known candidates with major-party backing, powerful networks, or extensive media exposure have an advantage. It cites Asselineau’s 2017 result as an example of how online popularity and a committed activist base may not translate into broad electoral support.

Praxis also argues that France’s political divisions make governing difficult, even for a president who wins.

Building a Civic Platform

Rather than compete in elections, Praxis aims to create a nonpartisan civic platform that brings people together around specific proposals. It draws inspiration from the Yellow Vests’ independence from political parties, while arguing that the movement lacked the organization needed to sustain its influence.

Praxis says its voting platform has already found strong support for measures including:

• A recall referendum for the president
• Restrictions on senior officials moving between public- and private-sector jobs
• Conditions on public aid to businesses

Plans for 2027

Praxis plans to identify ten measures it considers widely supported and immediately actionable, then interview all declared presidential candidates about them, including Branco and Asselineau. The aim is to help voters assess candidates’ reasoning and commitments, while putting public pressure on them to respond.

Praxis also urges people to use its app, vote in its referendums, join local groups, and help build support for the proposals. Local organizing is intended to begin in September, following a volunteer meeting planned for the end of June.
