Presidential election 2027: Ségolène Royal multiplies her criticism of Raphaël Glucksmann
The former minister, who is struggling to launch her campaign for the left-wing primary, targeted the co-founder of Place publique during several media appearances this weekend.
Ségolène Royal has multiplied her criticism of Raphaël Glucksmann, co-founder of Place publique and another declared candidate in the left-wing primary for the 2027 presidential election, during several media appearances this weekend.
These positions come at a time when the former minister is having difficulty getting her own campaign off the ground, several months after having announced her intention to run in this primary.
A left-wing primary still uncertain
The landscape of the French left remains marked by a multiplication of potential candidates for 2027, without a format or a definitive calendar for the primary having been decided by all the forces concerned. Raphaël Glucksmann, whose Place publique movement has gained visibility in recent years, is considered one of the most serious contenders for a joint candidacy.
Tensions revealing internal divisions
Ségolène Royal's outbursts illustrate the tensions that run through the progressive camp as the presidential election approaches, with each candidate seeking to position himself against potential rivals from sometimes similar sensibilities. No official reaction from Raphaël Glucksmann to these criticisms has yet been reported.
The question of the unity of the left, which has been regularly raised for several national elections, is expected to continue to structure debates in the months leading up to the 2027 presidential election.
