      Idk much, but I heard that this guy is good. That him and Philippe are the 2 beat candidates for the president.

    2. he’ll have a tough job trying to shine between the two extremes candidates. Pro Europe and pretends to not be a career politian, let’s see

      What’s his potential of piercings centrist and center right voters to defeat Le-Pen?

      Would be a miracle if he got more than 5% in the first round. Hidalgo got what, 2% last time?

      And what’s his platform? 

      To win on Reddit, he’s already good enough as someone who’s against Putin and Trump and in favour of supporting Ukraine.

       But the French probably need a bit more than that.

    6. Leftist technocratic science po graduate enmeshed in the Paris elite looking to be president? Where have I seen this before…

    7. This primary was mainly to decide if the socialists were going to join Melenchon or Attal/Philippe. The latter won.

    8. To r/Europe users, you’re now seeing a big influx of the very pro-Melenchon supporters on this thread, who usually astroturf r/France. For pro-Europe voters, Glucksman is good news.

    9. His only program is more immigration, less police, more debt. He is part of the rich class in France who governed for 30 years and bankrupted the country.

      Glucksmann is fine, a normal centrist to center left candidate.

      All the people attacking him are part of the latest trend in France that anything moderate/traditional pro-Europe spectrum is bad, ruined the country, and the only solution is radical socialism to beat fascism or something.

    11. Ah ah ah mais n’oubliez pas François Hollande les amis 😁😁😁😁
      C’est évidemment le seul légitime et le plus probable pour gagner cette présidentielle j’en suis absolument certain

      How is it possblr he was so bad … i think a craboard cut of lenin has more chance to win

    13. Wtf lmao this guy is just … Empty .
      There is nothing, he is bad, he lost every debates. Just a man build by media again

    14. I’m so tired of constantly being on the verge of everything just exploding. In a normal/sane world this French presidential election would be between Philippe and Glucksmann. Instead polling suggests that it will be between Le Pen and Melenchon. Two absolutely horrific, I mean HORRIFIC candidates proving horse-shoe theory IRL, as both are pro-Russian, anti-NATO and anti-EU.

      I think that he is the smarter left guy never seen in France since I am born (1975)
