France: Young voters blase about Glucksmann's Socialists
Raphael Glucksmann wants to lead France's Socialists to power without working with the left-populist Jean-Luc Melenchon, who is particularly popular with young voters. How can the center-left candidate win them over?
AI Summary
Raphael Glucksmann, a French Socialist MEP, aims to bring his party to power while refusing to ally with left‑populist Jean‑Luc Melenchon, who enjoys strong support among young voters. After winning the Socialist presidential primary on October 11, Glucksmann celebrated the result in Belleville, a historically working‑class Paris neighbourhood that has recently gentrified. The challenge he faces is persuading the youth‑leaning electorate to back his centre‑left platform without a Melenchon partnership.
