French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann on Friday said he was joining the left-wing union, the New Popular Front, in a bid to stop the far-right from winning a parliamentary majority in France's snap elections later this month.
Glucksmann, whose party trailed in third place in the European Parliamentary elections last week, told France Inter radio on Friday morning: “The only thing that matters to me is that the Rassemblement National (National Rally or RN) don’t win and won’t govern. That’s what’s important, and the only way to do that is a leftist union,” he said.
