00:00 After a low-profile campaign start, Raphaël Glucksmann, head of the list for PS and Place Publique,
00:06 launched himself on Sunday in the European battle with a big rally near Toulouse.
00:10 The goal was to get involved in the match between Renaissance and RN.
00:14 In Tournefeuille, Haut-de-Garonne, in the heart of Occitanie, the left-wing land,
00:19 the MEP will be on stage with the PS boss, Olivier Faure, and the socialist president of the region, Carol Delga.
00:26 The founder of the small party Place Publique had convinced a little over 6% of the voters in the 2019 European elections.
00:33 Five years later, credited with 9 to 13% according to polls,
00:37 he is currently at the head of the left, in third position behind the head of the list of the National Assembly,
00:42 Jordan Bardella, and that of the majority Valérie Ayé.
00:46 A good score would beat the cards for the presidential election and the next union that the PS calls for its vows after the failure of the ANUPE,
00:52 a new popular ecological and social union, born in June 2022 after an agreement between the left parties, summarizes a socialist.
00:59 For the 44-year-old essayist, the goal is clear,
01:03 try to get the disappointed voters of President Emmanuel Macron and Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the girls,
01:09 and pass in front of Valérie Ayé, Renaissance.
01:12 "If we exceed the majority, the signal is extremely strong," says Senator Alexandre Ouisy.
01:18 The issue is also of size to the European Parliament.
01:21 "We are 33 seats away from tipping the majority, currently held by the PPE, right-wing," notes Olivier Faure.
01:28 Becoming the first group would allow them to have a preponderant weight in the choice of the next president of the commission,
01:34 a post occupied today by Ursula von der Leyen, PPE, candidate for a second mandate.
01:39 Fight of his life
01:41 Tournefeuille is not the first meeting of Raphael Glucksmann which has launched in a discreet campaign for several months.
01:47 But it is the first of the two formations, PS and public place,
01:51 united at the end of an agreement that allowed its small party to drop at least three places in the elected positions.
01:57 The MEP should rely on these great themes, the flawless defense of Ukraine and Europe, the fight of his life.
02:04 "We can show that Europe is able to change software and have a more protective logic,"
02:09 says Christophe Clergeot, MEP in fifth position on the list.
02:13 Raphael Glucksmann has committed to Brussels against foreign interference, in particular from Russia and China,
02:19 he has also defended the directive that gives rights to workers of digital platforms,
02:23 ferraille for the transformation of the common agricultural policy and a taxation of super profits.
02:28 Criticized in 2019 by a part of the PS, which saw a head of a non-socialist list,
02:34 he now does the quasi-unanimity of the party to the rose.
02:37 Including among the former refractors who appreciate his position breaks with Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
02:43 Having also made himself known in Brussels on the defense of the Uighurs,
02:47 a Muslim minority that Beijing is accused of persecuting,
02:50 he assumes profound divergence with the insubordinate leader on China, the Ukrainian question or the European defense.
02:56 France Insoumise, disappointed not to have obtained a single list from the Europeans,
03:01 reproaches him for representing the "old left".
03:04 The rest of the left also tackles the Seyists, on France 3,
03:08 the communist senator Jan Brossa reproached him for wanting to give more competence to the European Union.
03:13 However, when more power is given to the Commission, it privatizes,
03:18 he noted, taking as an example the energy sector.
03:21 The head of the list, ecologist Marie Toussaint, took advantage of the presence of Carol Delga at the meeting,
03:27 to ask Raphael Glucksmann to position himself on the 69 project,
03:32 denounced by ecologists but defended by the regional president.
03:36 "We don't play the match with the girls or the greens, but against the extreme right and the liberals",
03:41 says Christophe Clergeau.
