“Not everything is forgiven”: Raphaël Glucksmann talks about his alliance with Jean-Luc Mélenchon
On Thursday, July 4, Raphaël Glucksmann, MEP from Place publique, stated on France Inter that “not everything is forgiven” with Jean-Luc Mélenchon. During the European campaign, Glucksmann had referred to the rebellious leader as an “engineer of chaos.” However, he justifies the past alliance with La France insoumise, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, and the Greens within the New Popular Front by explaining that it was urgent to create an electoral action unity against the far right.
Raphaël Glucksmann emphasizes that negotiations for this alliance were extremely tense and that red lines were drawn on subjects such as Ukraine, European construction, the attacks on October 7 classified as terrorist, and the fight against anti-Semitism. However, he insists that nothing is erased.
A call to focus on the final days of the campaign
According to Raphaël Glucksmann, it is important to focus on the final days of the campaign and not be carried away by posters proclaiming Mélenchon as Prime Minister. He believes that Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s hegemony has ended and that other voices have emerged during this campaign, mentioning figures such as François Ruffin, Valérie Rabault, Carole Delga, Aurore Lalucq, and Marine Tondelier.
“Everyone has understood that France needed reconciliation, that noise and fury did not work, we must promote a line of reconciliation for the country.”
