Raphaël Glucksmann, PS candidate – Place publique in the European elections, is neck and neck with the presidential majority in the poll results. How many candidates from his list can be elected at the end of the ballot?
Led by Raphaël Glucksmann, the alliance formed by the Socialist Party and Place publique has established itself as the third force in the European elections. Over the course of the polls, the candidate has risen in voting intentions, to the point of competing with the head of the presidential majority list. Given only one or two points from his competitor, Raphaël Glucksmann wants to believe in his chance of getting ahead of the Macronist camp on election day and undoing the impression of a duel established by Renaissance and the National Rally.
But by standing out in the results of the European election polls, Raphaël Glucksmann irritates Macronie – who is in a cold sweat at the idea of being relegated not to second, but to third place – and annoys the others left-wing forces still credited with less than 10% of voting intentions in the polls. The candidate must endure attacks coming from his right and those coming from his left, in particular those signed La France insoumise.
Who is Raphaël Glucksmann, the head of the PS list?

With his party, the essayist and trained journalist defends a social-democratic, social-ecological and pro-European program.

How many eligible candidates according to the poll results?
A list must obtain at least 5% of the votes in the European elections to see some of its candidates elected. The number of people elected out of the 81 candidates present on the lists of each party is proportional to the result obtained on election day. A minimum of 5% gets 4 seats, 10% gets 8 seats, etc.
Raphaël Glucksmann, who is credited with 14% of voting intentions in the poll results, can therefore hope to obtain 11 seats in the European Parliament. This is more than the number of candidates who were elected from his list during the previous elections. Please note that poll results and projections are only forecasts representing voting trends at a given time and cannot be understood as reliable predictions.
What is the program of the PS and Place publique for the European elections?
The PS list explains the vision and the project it has for Europe with just its name: “Wake up Europe”. Pro-European, the PS – Place publique alliance evokes a “powerful Europe” which must be able to protect itself with better European defense, but also come to the aid of its allies like Ukraine and react against attacks, including those of the Russia.
Raphaël Glucksmann’s program also relies on a relocation of production in Europe, whether industrial or agricultural, to make the European Union economically stronger. It is also the production of medicines that the candidate wants to see developed in Europe. He also calls for investment in the industries of tomorrow and in a fairer and more sustainable model for the environment by combining economy and ecology. He also wants to partly finance the ecological and social transition through taxes levied on super profits and other super wealth. Speaking of wealth, Raphaël Glucksmann makes the defense of purchasing power one of his priorities and wants to fight against the high cost of living, in particular by capping energy prices or by promoting European and sustainable production.
