At the end of October 2026, Raphaël Glucksmann's Socialist Party filed a bill providing for automatic regularization of undocumented workers who can prove six months of work over two years, modeled on the Spanish system. On November 2, during an interview on BFM and RMC, Glucksmann expressed support for the November 5 strike and announced he would demonstrate, accused LFI militants of creating a "detestable atmosphere," claimed France is "threatened with disintegration," proposed making those convicted of racial insults or incitement to hatred ineligible for office, and deemed it "intelligent" to postpone the second round of the presidential election. Over the following days, he estimated that Marine Le Pen is not a "French Meloni," defended a sovereign Europe before diplomatic press, and mocked criticisms from the left, while Socialist Party General Secretary Pierre Jouvet assured that the party would not be intimidated. On November 4, Olivier Faure and Raphaël Glucksmann, former rivals in the socialist primary, now appeared allied for 2027, and Glucksmann attended the Euronaval trade show in Villepinte. On November 5, Édouard Philippe accused him of being "more Macronist" than himself, then Glucksmann was booed during the November 5 demonstration and responded that he did not care about militants hostile to his presence.
