Overview

• On June 23 in Paris, Glucksmann presented “Act 1” of his presidential project drawing on input from over 200 experts and 2,000 militants.
• His blueprint outlines 50 concrete measures including a “society of care,” green reindustrialization, new social and democratic contracts and a plan to rescue public education.
• He rejects a left-wing primary, betting that strong polling will consolidate useful votes around a social-democratic alternative to La France Insoumise.
• The appointment of his partner, journalist Léa Salamé, as France 2’s 20H anchor has raised conflict-of-interest questions that he says will be managed through topic recusal.
• With Place Publique holding only one deputy and one senator, Glucksmann is counting on the Parti Socialiste’s support and plans to deliver a final platform by June 2026.
