Raphaël Glucksmann

But I personally, even the post that just came out to show a bit of a weakening on this side, I don't see a major loss of momentum.

And then on the center, the centrist candidates, I mean, who are they? How are they doing? You know, there's, is it Glucksmann and Philippe? Yeah, so

you have a flurry of centrist candidates.

I think there would be what I call sort of, you know, polling Darwinism.

So, you know, basically come February, you need to decide whether you're taking the risk of, you know, ending below 5% and paying this campaign out of pocket.

The campaign financing rules play a role also in this polling Darwinism that I've described.

On the center left, Glucksmann has won the primary of the Socialist Party.

He's getting a little bit of momentum as a result of that.

And number two, I think the problem we have now is we have too many candidates centre, centrist candidates, whether they're centre-right or centre-left.

And Glucksmann, who's sort of going to be the centre-left candidate, I don't see him really going to the second round because people don't really know him.

People don't understand his politics.

He hasn't been around for that long.

because they were too close to Macron.

And the third clone is called Raphael Glucksmann.

And he was, you know, aid to Saakashvili in Georgia.

And he's absolutely a disaster.

Most of the polls suggest that Marine Le Pen will be the, I don't know about the new face of France, but definitely the next president.

The polls are suggesting that there is the socialist Glucksmann, who is a little bit of a rising star, but I also think he suffers from that same neoliberal disease.

He's still a tool of the French elite, a French elite that is being socially surpassed by the people of the suburbs, by this Kylian Mbappe version of France that is trying to assert itself and is not being able to because of this violence.

very entrenched, very elite world.

The centrists themselves are competing to see whether one will drop out, and that changes the math considerably.

The Socialist Party or the kind of left center, left alliance have just elected in some kind of primary Raphael Glucksmann.

Unclear how that candidacy will be as well.

So there's lots and lots of uncertainties around this.

C'est-à-dire que sur les images, on peut se retrouver avec le patron du Parti socialiste et euh, le maire de Saint-Denis, LFI, que, qui a critiqué vertement euh, Glucksmann il y a quelques jours encore en disant que c'est, dans un tweet, c'était euh, une sorte de nouveau Macron.

Ouais, c'est ça qui est assez étonnant, c'est queee y a dix jours à peine, Raphaël Glucksmann remportait la primaire organisée par son parti et par le Parti socialiste.

Il battait Olivier Faure et il faisait de cette victoire l'affirmation de sa ligne, euh, qui était celle de plus aucune euh, accointance avec euh, la France insoumise.

Et dix jours après, celui qui est supposé être l'un de ses premiers soutiens en tant que chef du PS et en tant que adversaire battu.

C'est le, c'est, c'est le, la règle du jeu de la primaire.

On est battu, on accepte de soutenir le, le vainqueur et de soutenir ses euh, ses orientations.

Bah ce premier soutien, Olivier Faure en l'occurrence, euh, choisit d'aller à Orléans s'afficher avec euh, des ins-, des, d'éminents représentants de la France insoumise qui ont pas du tout été tendres avec euh, avec Raphaël Glucksmann.

Ça préfu-, ça présage quand même euh, d'une union qui va se faire difficilement.
