Raphaël Glucksmann differs most from the other ten candidates on “Energy, climate and farming”, with an average gap of 1.82 points. He is the only one of the eleven who strongly agrees both with building new nuclear reactors and with continuing to develop wind power; he also strongly agrees with banning glyphosate and neonicotinoids, and disagrees, in a position estimated for lack of a source, with scrapping low-emission zones (ZFE).
Next comes Europe (1.7 points): together with Marine Tondelier, he is the only one who strongly agrees with the European Union taking more decisions by majority, without a veto for each country; he disagrees with French law taking precedence over European law and strongly disagrees with leaving the Union. The third theme is “Foreign affairs and defence” (1.56 points): he strongly agrees with continuing military aid to Ukraine, with increasing military spending and, like Gabriel Attal, with offering to extend the French nuclear deterrent to European partners, and agrees with compulsory national service. He is never alone, or almost alone, on his side: whenever he agrees or disagrees, at least two of the other ten candidates do too.
He is closest to the rest on health (0.5 points, his smallest gap), with an intermediate position on requiring doctors to set up practice where they are lacking; he agrees with greatly increasing funding for public hospitals. Next come education (0.93 points), where he strongly agrees with banning social media for children under 15, and “Security and justice” (0.97 points).
Of his 46 positions, 24 are in favour, 5 intermediate and 17 against; 14 are at the extremes (1 or 5) and 9, for lack of a source, are estimated. His highest match is with Marine Tondelier (81%), his lowest with Éric Zemmour (42%).
