Mathilde Panot promises mass regularization of undocumented workers if LFI takes power in 2027

Mathilde Panot promised mass regularization for undocumented workers if La France Insoumise comes to power in 2027, but she did not say how many people would be covered.

The leader of the LFI group in France’s National Assembly made the commitment during the second edition of “Grand Oral 2027,” a presidential-election program organized by BFMTV and Le Figaro. She appeared on Sunday evening with BFMTV journalists Marc Fauvelle and Marie Chantrait, as well as Le Figaro political editor Jim Jarrassé.

Immigration was the first major subject discussed. The issue had returned to the center of political debate after Jordan Bardella drew criticism across much of the political spectrum, from LFI and Les Républicains to the centrist bloc, over a fictional agreement with Nigel Farage, known as “Mr Brexit.” One disputed provision involved sending migrants intercepted in British waters back to France.

Panot stayed with the principles of regularization and did not provide a numerical estimate. The supplied report is partly reserved for subscribers and does not include further details of her proposal.
