Francois Hollande believes in a good score from Raphaël Glucksmann in the June 9 vote to “produce another alternative” by 2027. The former head of state also attacked his successor, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The socialist does not see himself as a recourse, but rather a helper to ensure that a political force emerges in 2027, he says. The leader of the micro-arty Place publique could well take first place on the left, its competitors moving a little further away from the 10% voting intention mark, says Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the PS. “If it is the first round of the presidential election, he will also have to comply with its results,” says Faure towards the Chief Rebel, who has a pro-Ukrainian and pro-European line. The vote can “create conditions to properly prepare” for the race for the Élysée, he adds.
