SHAME! ELECTIONS FOR THE RICH: Presidential candidate advised to avoid POOR VOTERS!
According to Politico, the 46-year-old MEP is expected to soon join numerous candidates in next year's presidential elections, and polls currently show him within reach of entering the second round against far-right candidates Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella.
TL;DR
- A confidential memo suggests French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann should avoid targeting poor, young, and single-parent voters in his presidential campaign.
- The recommended voter base includes affluent individuals, those over 50, retirees, and those leaning left of center.
- The memo advises against trying to win over voters in poorer, multicultural suburbs, especially those likely to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
- Glucksmann's team has downplayed the memo, calling it a 'working document' and stating that Glucksmann rejects its conclusions, emphasizing the need to speak with everyone.
- Polls currently show Glucksmann and Mélenchon as the strongest left-wing candidates, with differing campaign strategies planned.
- Glucksmann aims to attract the moderate left and centrist voters disillusioned with Macron, while Mélenchon plans a radical message to mobilize low-propensity voters, particularly the young and those in urban working-class areas.
