Panot denies targeting Glucksmann

Mathilde Panot, the parliamentary leader for La France insoumise (LFI), denied that her party is targeting Raphaël Glucksmann, a socialist presidential candidate, in response to his claims of a "campaign of harassment." She stated that LFI's focus is on opposing the far right, Macronism, and voter abstention, rather than focusing on individual politicians.

Glucksmann accuses LFI of hostility

Raphaël Glucksmann, who won the socialist primary, accused LFI of organized hostility, claiming the party is preventing him from participating in demonstrations. He questioned why he is being targeted instead of other politicians like Gabriel Attal or Édouard Philippe, and noted that he has not been present at recent youth movement gatherings.

LFI's focus on broader political issues

Panot emphasized that LFI is not singling out Glucksmann, stating that their campaign is centered on broader political issues rather than personal attacks. She suggested that Glucksmann should focus on his own political proposals rather than criticizing LFI.

Polls show Mélenchon leading Glucksmann

According to a recent Ipsos-BVA-Cesi survey for Le Parisien, 17% of voters are willing to vote for Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round of the presidential election, regardless of the center and right-wing candidates. In contrast, Glucksmann is expected to receive between 13% and 15.5% of the votes.
