Overview
- The first major meeting drew roughly 1,000–1,500 people at the Cirque d'Hiver, prompting a shift to the main hall, though some seats remained empty.
- Chikirou and LFI leaders attacked 25 years of socialist rule and targeted PS candidate Emmanuel Grégoire, presenting their list as '100% anti‑Macron, 100% anti‑fascist'.
- She prioritized housing, education and child protection, vowing to declare a housing emergency in Paris and to create a public rental management agency.
- Ecologist councillors Emile Meunier and Jérôme Gleizes joined her slate, while Meunier left open a possible second‑round deal with Grégoire despite Chikirou's rejection of a socialist mayor.
- Activist figures including Assa Traoré backed the campaign, and a brief interruption by 'Nous Vivrons' accusing Chikirou of antisemitism led to the expulsion of three protesters.
