Interesting way to present things from The Telegraph, plenty of things to criticize Glucksmann for, but his grandfather is something french newspapers didn’t even bother with afaik

Mr Glucksmann, a pro-European ⁠MEP who led the mainstream Left alliance in the 2024 European Parliament election to 14 per cent of the vote, is a wealthy and well-connected member of the Parisian establishment.

His grandfather is Rubin Glucksmann, who emigrated to Palestine in the 1920s before becoming a communist and being recruited by the Comintern, the body set up to carry Bolshevism around the world. He worked as a Soviet spy in France, Germany and in Britain, where he pretended to be a businessman.

Yet it is not only his politics that ⁠have thrust him into the spotlight. His ​relationship with Lea Salamé, the star presenter of France 2 TV’s flagship evening news programme, has ​become a recurring subject of media attention, with newspapers dubbing them one ‌of France’s top “power couples”.

Worth noting he also served under Saakachvili’s in Georgia
