The candidate of social democracy. Raphaël Glucksmann, 44, leads the PS-Place publique list for the second time and he hopes interfere in the match between the RN and Renaissance. A claimed social democrat, he poses as candidate of the useful vote on the left and will try to get past Valérie Hayer, by putting forward the defense of a Europe that he wants “wake” and return “more just, more dignified”.
A battle for leadership on the left. The challenge is to shift the balance in Brussels and, for the European left, to obtain the majority in Parliament, currently held by the right. It is also, on the national level, to move the lines in view of the presidential election of 2027. In dispersed order for the June 9 vote, rebels, socialists, ecologists and communists are engaged in a battle for leadership on the left.
