Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Olivier Faure, the general secretary of the Socialist Party, has announced his candidacy for the left wing primary in preparation for the 2027 presidential election. Faure communicated his intention to run in a message to Socialist lawmakers following a speech at the party's annual conference. He is scheduled to officialize the announcement during a television interview on TF1. In the primary, Faure will face other candidates, including Place publique MEP Raphaël Glucksmann, who is currently viewed as the favorite. Meanwhile, former Socialist president François Hollande has stated his refusal to participate in the primary. Hollande asserted that a moment of truth will occur in December, suggesting the need for a sacred union of democrats that goes beyond political formations.
