Raphaël Glucksmann’s speech aroused the astonishment of many of his followers, considering that he disagrees with his convictions, in particular on the question of Ukraine while Jean-Luc Mélenchon is presented as a “poutinophile” by his detractors. Philosopher Raphaël Enthoven was quick to express his emotion: “Oh no, not him. It’s horrible.”
The father of Alexandre – whom he had with the policy Eka Zgouladze – and of Gabriel – whose mother is Léa Salamé, expected this wave of criticism. However, there is one that has exceeded the limits, that of the journalist Brice Couturier. He thus wrote:Your father would have been ashamed of your opportunism.” To which the son of the philosopher André Glucksmann, who died in 2015, replied, not accepting that his family be smeared in this way: “Summoning my dead father like this is disgusting. And what opportunism please? I didn’t negotiate anything, neither for me nor for Place Publique. I just said what I thought, with the nuance that lives in me. You don’t like it, very well. But there are limits.“His interlocutor apologized for his inappropriate remarks, justifying them by his disappointment to see him join the movement initiated by La France insoumise.
