Raphaël Glucksmann, who is hot on the heels of the presidential majority candidate Valérie Hayer in voting intentions for the European elections, called this Thursday to strengthen “the emergence of a new political space” on the left during a large meeting in Paris, while Prime Minister Gabriel Attal made him his target.
In front of 4000 people gathered at the Zénith in Paris, –“one of the most beautiful meetings in a very long time”, according to the secretary general of the PS Pierre Jouvet, the head of the PS-Place publique list launched an appeal to all “sincere democrats” : “If you want to strengthen the emergence of a powerful political pole that can oppose the far right and the liberal right, join us”.

He also asked activists to “give everything, to be the big and beautiful surprise of this election”, and then promised to create “something profoundly new”. “I will be there with you to build this space”.
Raphaël Glucksmann, credited with around 14% of voting intentions for this June 9 election, still has ten days to try to get ahead of Valérie Hayer. The Macronist candidate, whose list is in difficulty in the polls, is clearly behind that of the RN candidate Jordan Bardella, given at more than 30%. The 44-year-old essayist, however, refuses to play the game of predictions, aware of the feeling of disappointment if the crossing of the curves did not take place on June 9.
Raphaël Glucksmann also continued to attack the far right, his main hobbyhorse. He notably invited Mathias Ecke, a German social-democrat MEP who was violently attacked in early May by four people linked to the far right in Dresden, in the former GDR. “This strategy of brutalization aims to silence us, but they will not succeed, they will not silence us”promised the parliamentarian who suffered from a fractured cheekbone.
