French presidential candidate Raphaël Glucksmann outlined his vision for an “Ecological Republic” in a recent interview with *Le Monde*. He argues that Europe is essential for successfully implementing ecological transformation. Glucksmann is actively seeking the support of France’s Green party, positioning his platform as a viable path toward environmental progress. A key component of his proposal involves a tax on substantial inheritances – dubbed “mega-inheritances” – to generate funds. These revenues would be specifically allocated to increasing salaries across the country, addressing both economic and environmental concerns. Glucksmann believes this dual approach will resonate with voters and provide a strong foundation for his 2027 presidential bid. He aims to present a comprehensive solution linking environmental sustainability with economic justice.
