Horizons

Horizons is a French political party led by former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe. The party is currently newsworthy due to its positioning for the 2027 presidential election. Recent polls suggest Philippe could win against Jordan Bardella (RN) in the second round. Philippe is also actively shaping his platform, particularly on immigration, as evidenced by his statements regarding the Franco-Algerian treaty. The party's strategy involves potentially uniting the right and center, with figures like Gérard Larcher playing a mediating role. However, Horizons is also experiencing internal tensions, exemplified by Pierre-Yves Bournazel's criticism of Rachida Dati after the Paris municipal elections. These developments highlight Horizons' ambition to be a central force in the upcoming presidential race and its efforts to define a clear political identity while navigating internal disagreements and broader coalition-building efforts.
