> With France’s presidential election six months away, a coalition of centre-left parties has chosen EU lawmaker Raphaël Glucksmann as its candidate. He says he represents a break with Macronism and Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s far left, and can defeat the far right. Polls suggest he would lose a second-round runoff to Marine Le Pen.
