Posted Updated (21 d ago)

Raphaël Glucksmann said on Monday that the "battle begins" to revive France's divided left ahead of the 2027 presidential election, France 24 reports. He was chosen Sunday as the centre-left candidate with more than 66% of the vote.

Glucksmann is 46, a member of the European Parliament and founder of the small party Place Publique. The primary was organised by the Socialists and their centre-left allies, according to France 24. The Guardian calls his win decisive.

On Monday morning he urged the centre left to wage an "existential battle" to keep Marine Le Pen's far right from winning the presidency, the Guardian reports. He also said the left must shed the spirit of defeat.

France 24 says he is campaigning on a break with Macronism and a break with the far left of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It reports that opinion polls suggest he would not beat Le Pen in a second-round run-off. The presidential election is due in April, according to France 24.
