Raphaël Glucksmann Declares Full Commitment to France’s 2027 Presidential Race

The Place Publique leader rejects alliances with LFI and eyes a coalition with socialists, humanists, and ecologists.

  • Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of Place Publique, has confirmed his intention to be 'totally involved' in the 2027 French presidential election.
  • He aims to establish a coalition with socialists, humanists, and ecologists while firmly ruling out partnerships with La France Insoumise (LFI) and Jean-Luc Mélenchon due to irreconcilable differences on international and European policies.
  • Glucksmann’s party has seen significant growth, surging from 1,500 to 11,000 members, following its success in the 2024 European elections where it led the left with 13.8% of the vote.
  • During the Place Publique congress, he emphasized the need for a clear strategy, organizational restructuring, and the development of a comprehensive political platform by summer 2025.
  • Polling indicates Glucksmann is a leading left-wing figure for the 2027 election, with 27% of French voters favoring his candidacy.
