    Why these terms?

    Declared Candidate means this person has publicly announced a presidential campaign. That announcement is a political act, not a legal validation: an Official Candidate appears only on the Constitutional Council's validated final ballot, which requires 500 sponsorships (parrainages) from elected officials. These labels describe different stages, not endorsements.

    How ballot qualification works

    Profile inclusion is not a declaration or a final validated ballot place. Declaration sources and qualifications are linked in the sources section at the bottom of this page.

    01 / Trajectory

    The record behind the name

    1. 01

      Arthaud has been a spokesperson for Lutte ouvrière since 2008 and served on the Vaulx-en-Velin municipal council. Her organization should be distinguished from LFI and from the separate revolutionary groups also fielding contenders.

    02 / The issues

    Where the candidate stands, issue by issue

    Position statements are being compiled as campaign working papers, party resolutions, and public hearings are published.

    03 / Critical reading

    An interpretative reading of the official campaign apparatus: platform architecture, website aesthetics, poster design, colour, framing, iconography and the themes placed first on the candidate's homepage.

    Is the campaign asking primarily for control of executive office, for the public expression of working-class demands, or for organization beyond an election? A fair assessment should examine the campaign’s own strategy rather than judge every candidacy only by polling rank.

    04 / Textual evidence

    A quantitative, descriptive examination of the candidate's published textual corpus (official programs, campaign speeches, and communiqués) measuring lexical frequencies, key collocations, and thematic word densities.

    Corpus CDA in progress: Lexicometric frequency extraction and concordance analysis are currently being compiled from official campaign publications. Statistical findings will appear here.

    Explore source-listed court decisions associated with this candidate’s party and the parties on our spectrum. Nathalie Arthaud’s party or clearly labelled connected-party context is featured above the comparison groups. Select a party to see the named people and cases, then select a person for details and source links.

    Other parties

    The featured group is not repeated below; some historical context records may overlap other groups.

    One mark represents one source entry. Filled: final according to source; hollow: appeal or further review; faint: finality not specified. Each constellation fills its card; the featured party is enlarged for emphasis. Compare numerical counts, not display area or mark size.

    About the data

    • Source: Casier Politique, © 2026 Raphaël Jolivet. It collects information from Wikipedia and Wikidata using automated extraction, including language-model extraction.
    • Coverage: all years present in the imported data. The candidate’s party is featured, with the selected spectrum parties below. All source years are included; there is no date-range filter or catch-all category.
    • Unit: one source-listed decision, not one person or one unique criminal case. Multiple entries can involve the same person or affair. Some source entries are non-criminal court decisions.
    • Status: finality and appeal labels are preserved from the source, not independently certified by French Politics. No entry under review is labelled a final conviction.
    • Limitations: incomplete coverage and possible extraction errors. The figures are not conviction rates, do not measure the prevalence of criminal conduct, and do not attribute other people’s actions to this candidate.
    • Party scope: 133 of 383 source entries were not securely matched to the party scope covered by these profiles. Each page displays its candidate’s party and the spectrum parties, not a national total. Grouping and presentation are French Politics’ responsibility. Historical aliases and explicitly labelled context groups are used. Context views can overlap; do not sum their totals. PS and Place publique records remain separate.
    • Reuse: source data and adapted graphic under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (attribution, noncommercial use, share-alike). Original layout, selected-party scope and English interface by French Politics; no endorsement implied.

    All source years retained. Each page features its own candidate-party association and compares the selected spectrum parties. Profiles outside the spectrum have their own separately matched party; unrelated parties’ records are not inherited.

    Glucksmann is associated with PS for presidential nomination context; PS and Place publique records are not merged. A party-context record is not a candidate’s personal judicial record.

    Connected-party contexts: raw party labels and records are not reassigned. Explicit display unions show Macron-aligned parties, LFH with a separate RPR/UMP/LR reference lineage, and NPA-R with exact pre-split NPA labels. Current-party and contextual counts are disclosed separately; overlapping display totals must not be added. A new party is not clean by definition.

    Nathalie Arthaud: party, policies and 2027 election status

    An independent English-language profile combining critical intellectual analysis with sourced research on political background, documented policies, presidential programs and campaign discourse.

    Lutte ouvrière spokesperson; former municipal representative

    Political organization recorded in this profile: Lutte ouvrière. The candidacy register records the status “Declared contender”, with a recorded announcement or selection date of 8 December 2025. This describes the evidence in this profile, not a newly verified official ballot qualification.
