Sans être encore officiellement candidat à l’élection présidentielle, Raphaël Glucksmann ne cache plus sa détermination à se présenter. Si son programme de politique étrangère reste à préciser, ses prises de position permettent déjà d’en distinguer les principales orientations : défense de la démocratie et des droits humains, fermeté face à la Russie et à la Chine, opposition à Donald Trump mais attachement à l’alliance avec les États-Unis.

Cette ligne s’inscrit dans la filiation intellectuelle de son père, André Glucksmann, et dans une tradition occidentaliste, atlantiste et néoconservatrice. Son engagement passé en Géorgie, aux côtés d’un pouvoir pourtant critiqué par Amnesty International concernant la protection des droits humains, illustre les premières contradictions de son positionnement.

Raphaël Glucksmann défend une diplomatie universaliste, mais celle-ci semble parfois s’appliquer à la carte. Très offensif sur les ingérences russes ou chinoises, il évoque beaucoup moins celles d’autres puissances, comme Israël. De même, très engagé dans la défense des droits humains s’agissant des Ouïghours ou de l’Ukraine, il apparait moins affirmé lorsqu’il est question des Palestiniens, de Gaza ou de la Cisjordanie.

Entre héritage occidentaliste, atlantisme et volonté de s’inscrire dans une tradition de gauche, quelles seront les véritables orientations diplomatiques en cas d’une candidature Glucksmann ? L’universalisme peut-il rester crédible lorsqu’il ne s’applique pas avec la même exigence à toutes les crises ?

The following paper was awarded first prize in the policy paper competition organized by ELIAMEP’s Turkey Programme, focusing on Turkey’s domestic developments, foreign relations, and socio-political dynamics.

The policy paper examines the systematic erosion of press freedom and digital rights in Turkey, focusing particularly on events following the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu on March 19, 2025. The Saraçhane protests that erupted in response revealed the full dimensions of the Turkish government’s digital censorship apparatus: bandwidth throttling, mass social media account suspensions, and the systematic suppression of citizen journalism. Through an analysis of recent policy developments, legal frameworks, and the relationship between the Erdoğan regime and Big Tech companies, this report documents how authoritarian governments leverage digital platforms to silence dissent.

The analysis shows that with 90% of traditional media under state control, journalists have migrated to YouTube and social media platforms only to face expensive licensing requirements, threats of arrest, and platform-level censorship. The report argues that İmamoğlu’s case represents a dangerous precedent: his social media accounts remain suspended, despite his legal case maintaining the presumption of innocence, which effectively prevents him from campaigning as a presidential candidate. This systematic destruction of information infrastructure has implications not only for Turkey, but for democratic movements worldwide.
