LIVE - Presidential election 2027: Raphaël Glucksmann launches “an appeal to all environmentalist, humanist” and “republican” citizens to join him

Crowned with his large victory on Sunday evening in the primary of the social democratic left, Raphaël Glucksmann must now appease and bring together a divided political family and continue the dynamic that has just started. The MEP was designated candidate of the social democratic left with more than 66% of the votes, a large victory in the first round which surprised even his camp: it is a “surprise” and “good news for the future” greeted the leader of the PS deputies, Boris Vallaud.

The leader of Place publique affirmed in the evening that he was “invested with an immense responsibility”, committing to “unite”. The challenge now is to make room in the campaign “for all sensitivities and for all candidates”, and by integrating proposals from candidates into the program, Jérôme Auslender, one of the managers of Place publique, told AFP. “We are going to build a large team around our candidate” and then “expand to the rest of the democratic left”, specifies the same.

From now on it is a question of “entering into a campaign dynamic by addressing the French”, to continue the movement launched with the primary, but on a clearly social-democratic identity, according to Jérôme Auslender. Raphaël Glucksmann launched “an appeal to all environmentalist, humanist” and “republican” citizens to join him.

If the boss of the Ecologists Marine Tondelier deplored the victory of “the one who chooses to withdraw”, the Glucksmann camp pretends not to worry about it. Environmentalist senator Yannick Jadot, who has already joined them, will soon present the 100 days of the “ecological revolution” promised by Raphaël Glucksmann. “We are going to affirm this ecological identity that we share,” defends Jérôme Auslender, convinced of being able to convince the Greens.
