Raphaël Glucksmann presents his 2027 proposals and attacks Mélenchon

On November 8, 2026, guest on "Grand Oral 2027" on BFMTV, Raphaël Glucksmann, PS-Place Publique candidate, estimated that Jean-Luc Mélenchon "cannot be president" because he "is too scary", while affirming that the left is the only one capable of beating the far right. He also judged "a serious political fault" Édouard Philippe's remarks on French people of immigrant descent, declared he had refused the post of Prime Minister after the dissolution, and said he wanted to end Mélenchon's "hegemony" on the left, accusing him and Marine Le Pen of relaying "Moscow's propaganda". On November 9, Alexis Braud, close to Yannick Jadot, was suspended for three months from the Ecologists for having joined Glucksmann's campaign team. The same day, at a press conference, Glucksmann promised to end energy dependence on Russia if elected, unveiled his ecological section with Yannick Jadot, and proposed 200 billion euros in public investment over the five-year term to phase out fossil fuels. On November 9 and 10, his positions on nuclear power were contrasted with those of Mélenchon and a new clash took place between the two men, while Daniel Cohn-Bendit gave his support to Glucksmann.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover Glucksmann's campaign with different emphases: the left focuses on his stance toward Macronism and Mélenchon and on his team, the center details his ecological and social proposals, while the right insists on his statements about Matignon and his opposition to Mélenchon, while relaying criticisms.

Left

The left highlights Glucksmann's desire to distance himself from Macronism (his refusal of Matignon in 2024) and his campaign organization, with a team bringing together Socialist Party sensitivities. It also stresses tensions with La France insoumise and the need for the left not to tear itself apart.

Centre

The center details Glucksmann's proposals: 200 billion euros in public investment for ecology, a €100 increase in the minimum wage, an end to energy dependence on Russia, and revisits his statement about refusing the post of Prime Minister in 2024.

Right

The right focuses on Glucksmann's statements about Matignon in 2024 (with the Élysée's nuance) and on his goal of ending Mélenchon's hegemony on the left. It also relays criticisms and incidents, such as his being booed and removed from a demonstration, and reactions from La France insoumise officials.
