Early life and career
Glucksmann is the son of philosopher André Glucksmann. Between 2005 and 2012, he was an adviser to former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili.
Political career
Beginnings
In 2018, Glucksmann founded the French centre-left French political party Place Publique.[1]
Member of the European Parliament, 2019–present
On 26 May 2019, Place publique and the French Socialist Party presented a joint list at the European Parliament election, with Glucksmann as the head,[2] under the title "Envie d'Europe, écologique et sociale".[3] The list obtained a total of 6.2%, thereby securing the election of six Members to the European Parliament: Glucksmann, Sylvie Guillaume, Eric Andrieu, Aurore Lalucq, Pierre Larrouturou, Nora Mebarek.[4]
In Parliament, Glucksmann has since been serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs and its Subcommittee on Human Rights. Since 2020, he has been also chairing the Special Committee on "Special Committee on Foreign Interference in all Democratic Processes in the European Union, including Disinformation".[5][6]
In addition to his committee assignments, Glucksmann is a member of the Responsible Business Conduct Working Group[7] and the Spinelli Group.[8]
In his parliamentary work, Glucksmann has focused attention on the Xinjiang re-education camps, for which he has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.[9][10]
Political positions
In May 2021, Glucksmann joined a group of 39 mostly Green Party lawmakers from the European Parliament who in a letter urged the leaders of Germany, France and Italy not to support Arctic LNG 2, a $21 billion Russian Arctic liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, due to climate change concerns.[11]
In November 2021, Glucksmann led a group of seven Members of the European Parliament to Taiwan to send a strong signal in support of the self-ruling island, despite a threat of retaliation from China.[12]
Personal life
Glucksmann was married to Georgian and Ukrainian politician Eka Zguladze until 2014.[13]
He has a son, Gabriel, born 12 March 2017, with journalist Léa Salamé.[14]
