Raphaël Glucksmann launches 2027 French presidential campaign

Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of the Place Publique party and Member of the European Parliament, has officially launched his campaign for the 2027 French presidential election. Announcing his bid via TF1, Glucksmann intends to compete in the social-democratic primary scheduled for October. His platform emphasizes an 'ecological revolution,' promising to phase out oil and gas within his first 100 days in office. While he supports the construction of new European Pressurised Reactors (EPRs), he faces differing views on nuclear energy from allies like Green Senator Yannick Jadot, who has endorsed his candidacy.

Glucksmann's entry into the race impacts the media landscape; his partner, journalist Léa Salamé, has announced her temporary withdrawal from anchoring the France 2 20:00 news to maintain journalistic ethics during the campaign. Jean-Baptiste Marteau will serve as her replacement until further notice.

The political landscape on the left remains fragmented. While Glucksmann seeks to unite the center-left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon of La France Insoumise has already established an early campaign presence. Glucksmann's candidacy aims to provide an EU-friendly alternative to both the radical left and the far-right.
