Member of the European Parliament Raphaël Glucksmann won Sunday's primaries of the French social-democratic left and became its candidate in the 2027 presidential election. He received 66 percent of the vote in the first round. Approximately 140,000 voters took part in the contest. hnonline.sk ↗
Glucksmann, who is co-chair of the Place publique party, significantly outpaced the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, and former presidential candidate Ségolène Royal. Jérôme Guedj and Emmanuel Maurel also took part in the primary race. Neither Faure nor Royal advanced to the next round of voting. Le Monde ↗
After the results were announced, the winner called for the unification of the democratic left in order to defeat the far right. He also reiterated his rejection of an alliance with the France Unbowed party, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Glucksmann built his campaign on distancing himself from Macronism and on ending Mélenchon's dominant influence over the left. Le Monde ↗
After his victory, Glucksmann also shook hands with former President François Hollande. Hollande welcomed his success and indicated his readiness to get involved in the emerging political dynamic. Le Figaro ↗
The new candidate of the social-democratic left will now face the task of uniting the defeated rivals and building a broader electoral coalition. However, his position ahead of the presidential election remains uncertain, as the French left continues to be divided.
