French Socialists Begin Primary; Left Fragmented Ahead of 2027 Vote
El País·FR·1 day ago
Ahead of the October 9-10 Socialist and Democratic Left primary, 290 elected officials and leaders, including Carole Delga and Boris Vallaud, publicly endorse Raphaël Glucksmann. This consolidates Glucksmann's position as the leading candidate, potentially shaping the left's unified ticket for the 2027 presidential race. The endorsement signals a shift in Socialist Party internal dynamics, though the primary outcome remains uncertain.
