Presidential Election 2027: Raphaël Glucksmann believes it would be "intelligent" to change the date of the second round, scheduled for May 2

Raphaël Glucksmann, candidate for the Socialist Party, suggested changing the date of the second round of the presidential election due to societal tensions. He expressed concerns about potential violence during May Day protests and criticized the current political climate. Other political figures, including Bruno Retailleau and Louis Aliot, echoed similar sentiments regarding the risks associated with the timing of the election. The government, however, rejected the idea of changing the election date, emphasizing the need to stand firm against violence. Glucksmann also addressed issues of social justice and the need for urgent government action on low wages and living costs, while condemning the rise of hate speech and racism in public discourse.
