The head of the socialist list believes that “the European elections will decide the lines” on the left, and poses as “guardian” of the “clear course” that he set during the campaign.
If the European campaign has never really started, the recomposition of the political landscape which is announced after the election should, conversely, shake things up a little. Guest of BFMTV on Sunday June 2, Raphaël Glucksmann in any case explained the stakes for the future on the left, and in particular in the perspective of 2027. “I have set a clear course, and this course has resolved extremely deep fundamental differences which run through the French left,” thus ensures the head of the socialist list. Adding: “This milestone is the visceral attachment to European construction, to democracy, to peaceful public debate, refusing excess, slander and fake news. There is a European election which will decide the lines. It is very important to know now that we have rules and a direction. And I will be the guardian of the fact that we do not deviate from it.
Comments which suggest that no alliance with La France insoumise will be possible in the future, which he confirms a few seconds later, by announcing a position “a complete break with what LFI does today.” A rhetoric which strongly recalls that of the irreconcilable lefts, expressed by Manuel Valls. The extract sparked numerous reactions from rebellious personalities on X, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s troops have made Glucksmann a privileged target for several weeks. “For once, the socialists are not waiting for the elections to betray their promises. This is progress,” for example, wrote LFI MP Clémence Guetté, co-president of the La Boétie Institute, the training body created by Mélenchon. On France Inter this Monday, June 3, the candidate of the roses nevertheless persists and signs. “I accept the deep differences that separate us from the rebels and Mélenchon,” he said, claiming to be “creating a new political space”.
