Place Publique (“Public Square”) is a centre-left political party in France,[3] founded in 2018 by Raphaël Glucksmann, Claire Nouvian, Jo Spiegel, and Thomas Porcher.
[5] Their position was presented as an alternative to La France Insoumise, although Thomas Porcher declared that the movement was not against Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
In the 2024 European elections, Glucksmann led the list Réveiller l'Europe,[10] an alliance of Place publique with the historical Parti socialiste.
This result made this list the third nation-wide (after those led by Bardella and Hayer), confirming the increasing prominence of Raphaël Glucksmann as a national figure, and the emergence of Place publique as a political force.
[13] Among the 13 seats obtained by the list “Réveiller l'Europe”, three were held by members of Place publique: Raphaël Glucksmann, Aurore Lalucq, and Thomas Pellerin-Carlin.
