The announcement comes as the government recently planned an early increase in the Smic of 1.6% on December 1, 2026, a rise far more limited than the one she is promising.
On energy, Les Écologistes are not abandoning the closure of nuclear power plants. Marine Tondelier reaffirmed this stance without assigning it a specific timetable.
She also indicated that it was not possible to set a precise timeframe for achieving all of these objectives.

Dig deeper
Who is Marine Tondelier?
Marine Tondelier is the national secretary of Les Écologistes, the French environmentalist party that emerged from Europe Écologie-Les Verts, and is presenting herself here as a candidate in the 2027 presidential election.
What is the Smic?
The Smic, the interprofessional growth minimum wage, is the legal hourly minimum wage in France, in principle raised each year in line with inflation, sometimes with an early increase.
Who are Les Écologistes?
Les Écologistes are France’s main Green party; they advocate a nuclear phase-out and, in this campaign, a sharp increase in the minimum wage.
Why does the gap with the government’s increase matter?
The government plans only a +1.6% rise on December 1, 2026, whereas Tondelier promises to raise the Smic “right away” to 2,000 euros gross if she wins, with no costed timetable for the rest of her platform.
What happens next?
The promise could apply only in the event of victory in the 2027 presidential election; no precise time horizon is set for closing the power plants or for the full set of objectives.
