Episode Details

Raphael Glucksmann, a centre-left politician and pro-EU lawmaker, has launched his presidential bid to stop the far-right from seizing power in France, positioning himself as the moderate left’s last line of defense against Marine Le Pen’s rising poll numbers. Once leading a coalition that won 14% in Europe, he now faces the tough task of uniting the fractured left while standing firm against Jean-Luc Melenchon’s hard-left dominance. Glucksmann’s campaign hinges on defending liberal democracy, supporting Ukraine, and rejecting far-right populism — all while managing personal scrutiny over his relationship with TV host Lea Salame, who will pause her broadcasting duties to avoid any conflict of interest during the race.
