2027 presidential election: the Glucksmann camp rejects the “grand coalition” proposed by Gabriel Attal

Raphaël Glucksmann's supporters closed the door, Sunday October 4, to Gabriel Attal's proposal to form a "grand coalition" with a view to the presidential election. In an interview with Le Parisien on Saturday, the Renaissance candidate pleaded for an alliance aimed at bringing together voters "from the social democratic left to the republican right", in order to avoid a duel between Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the second round next year. In this interview, he specifically targets “voters tempted by Raphaël Glucksmann”.

"The French are waiting for a total break with the last ten years, on the project for the country as well as on the way of governing. We will lead this break with our environmentalist and communist comrades", replied the boss of the PS deputies Boris Vallaud on X, calling on Gabriel Attal to leave Raphaël Glucksmann "out of his communication stunts". This coalition, “not even in a dream”, launched the environmentalist senator Yannick Jadot on the same social network, also a supporter of the Place publique candidate.

The candidates in the PS-Place publique primary are preparing for their last debate before the vote which decides between them. Olivier Faure, Raphaël Glucksmann, Jérôme Guedj, Ségolène Royal and Emmanuel Maurel will debate on BFMTV this Sunday at 8:45 p.m. This will be their last debate before the vote in the primary organized by the Socialist Party and Place publique, on October 9 and 10.

Jean-Philippe Tanguy maintains his support for Jordan Bardella, despite the elements revealed by Mediapart. “We are united behind Jordan Bardella who is innocent,” assured the RN deputy for the Somme on CNews, referring to “a terrible campaign”. He accuses Mediapart of “bad faith” and affirms that “their so-called evidence was appalling, there was absolutely nothing”.

“I will never withdraw” for the benefit of another force on the left, affirms Fabien Roussel. “Because we have a project, differences, nuances with the other left-wing forces,” explains the national secretary of the Communist Party and candidate for the presidential election on BFMTV.

LR “will not play the game of censorship” on the 2027 budget, assures Laurent Wauquiez. “We will not play with the budget while France is on the verge of a financial abyss,” asserts the boss of the deputies of the Republican Right group in an interview with Les Echos. Beyond the 43 billion euros of effort proposed by the government, the elected official is proposing a savings plan of 20 billion, among other things by eliminating 50,000 civil servant positions.
