Presidential election 2027: Yannick Jadot supports Raphaël Glucksmann "without hesitation"

Following the official announcement of Raphaël Glucksmann's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, Yannick Jadot announced on Monday, August 24, that he was offering him his support "without hesitation and with enthusiasm." This is a significant endorsement for the Place Publique candidate, who is now seeking to broaden his coalition beyond the Socialist Party.

Invited on France Inter, the former Green Party candidate for the 2022 presidential election stated that Raphaël Glucksmann was "the candidate best placed to reconcile the needs for social justice, the ecological imperative, democracy, and Europe." "He can win this presidential election," the Green Party senator also asserted.

This support exacerbates divisions among environmentalists.

Yannick Jadot's endorsement comes as the Greens remain deeply divided over the strategy to adopt for 2027. Some leaders advocate an independent Green candidacy, while others want closer ties with Jean-Luc Mélenchon . Yannick Jadot, who has consistently opposed an alliance with La France Insoumise (LFI), is therefore clearly choosing the social-democratic camp embodied by Raphaël Glucksmann.

For the leader of Place Publique, officially a candidate since Sunday evening, this endorsement represents a significant boost following his entry into the race. Raphaël Glucksmann will, however, first have to go through the primary organized with the Socialists before he can claim to represent this political movement in the presidential election.
