A look at the vision of the frontrunner for the United Left, currently one of the two favorites for the upcoming municipal elections.
As part of our ongoing “Team Municipales 2026” event series, Euros / Agency Group was pleased to host Emmanuel Grégoire, the candidate representing the United Left for the City of Paris. Speaking before an audience of sixty public affairs professionals, clients, and partners, Mr. Grégoire shared his strategic roadmap for the future of the French capital.
Following our recent session with Pierre-Yves Bournazel, our Team Municipales 2026 continued its exploration of the political trajectories shaping Paris by welcoming Emmanuel Grégoire this Thursday. As one of the two frontrunners in current polling for the 2026 election, his visit provided a crucial opportunity to discuss the long-term transformation of the Parisian ecosystem.
A Vision Rooted in Hyper-Proximity and Innovation
During this in-depth exchange, Emmanuel Grégoire detailed the four structural pillars of his project for Paris:
-
Hyper-proximity and Decentralization: A commitment to a more decentralized Paris, granting more power and autonomy to the city’s arrondissements (districts) to ensure governance is closer to the citizens.
-
Adapting to Economic Shifts: A pragmatic response to global transformations, including the integration of Artificial Intelligence, the modernization of local commerce, and the optimization of urban logistics.
-
Excellence in Public Services: A focus on safety, fluid mobility, and enhancing the day-to-day quality of public services for all Parisians.
-
Grand Paris as a Knowledge Hub: Positioning the Greater Paris area as a primary engine for the “battle of knowledge,” driving research and innovation on a European scale.
Direct Dialogue on Local Challenges
Beyond high-level strategy, the session featured a candid and concrete debate on the issues that define Parisian life. From the future of the Parc des Princes to the evolving role of the Municipal Police, no topic was off-limits.
Participants engaged with the candidate on subjects ranging from deposit-return schemes and the regulation of VTC (ride-sharing) services to the continued expansion of cycling infrastructure.
“Our role at Euros / Agency Group is to provide visibility on the political shifts that will durably transform our city. We act as the bridge between those who decide and those who execute.”
Shaping the Debate for 2026
At Euros / Agency Group, we believe that understanding the vision of future leaders is essential for our partners and clients. By hosting the key players of the 2026 campaign, we ensure our community stays ahead of the legislative and political trends that will define the next decade.
We will continue this Paris-focused cycle very shortly by hosting the leading candidate from the Right for the Paris Mayoralty.
