Creation
The party was officially founded on 10 August 2018.[5] On October 29, 2018, Raphaël Glucksmann, Thomas Porcher, Jo Spiegel, Diana Filippova, and Claire Nouvian announced the creation of Place Publique, a political party aiming to bring together the pro-European French left from Europe Ecology – The Greens to the Socialist Party and Génération.s.[6] Their position was presented as an alternative to La France Insoumise, although Thomas Porcher declared that the movement was not against Jean-Luc Mélenchon.[7]
On 6 November 2018, Raphaël Glucksmann and several party leaders published a manifesto announcing the birth of their movement.[8]
2019 European elections
On 16 March 2019, Place Publique and the Socialist Party announced that they would present a joint list at the European Parliament election, with Raphaël Glucksmann as the head of the list.[9] Thomas Porcher left the party the same day, denouncing a "list of apparatchiks".[10] Place Publique won two seats in the election.
2024 European elections
In the 2024 European elections, Glucksmann led the list Réveiller l'Europe,[11] an alliance of Place publique with the historical Parti socialiste.[12] The list obtained 13.83% of the national votes,[13] a high score compared to the 6.19% obtained in 2019. This result made this list the third nation-wide (after those led by Bardella and Hayer), confirming the increasing prominence of Raphaël Glucksmann as a national figure, and the emergence of Place publique as a political force.[14]
Among the 13 seats obtained by the list “Réveiller l'Europe”, three were held by members of Place publique: Raphaël Glucksmann, Aurore Lalucq, and Thomas Pellerin-Carlin.[15]
