  "account": "Paris - European Parliament member and Socialist Raphaël Glucksmann (46) has entered the race for France's Socialist presidential candidacy for next spring, emerging with a surprising majority of over 66 percent in a party vote over the weekend. Party reports indicate Olivier Faure, the party chief, received just 14.5 percent of the votes. No second round of voting is necessary. Glucksmann stated, \"I will be a candidate for social and fiscal justice, the ecological revolution, and democracy.\" He aims to be the candidate who can break with President Emmanuel Macron's policies. \"The candidate who can defeat our eternal enemy, the extreme right, is the one I will be,\" he added. Tensions had been brewing within the left-wing faction of the Socialists regarding whether to unify behind a single candidate or field separate contenders. Glucksmann envisions a coalition with France's Greens and Communists, but not with the far-left party La France Insoumise, led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who had already announced his intention to run. Glucksmann currently stands at around 11 percent in the polls, while Mélenchon has long been at the top with roughly 34 percent. The polls are still inconclusive due to uncertainties about whether Macron's departing administration and the conservatives will agree on a unified candidate, making the situation less clear. Youth confidence in the state is waning, and the police are preparing as if at war.",
