By ambition or by conviction, they are a few artists who risk damaging their image to go and defend the opinions that are close to their hearts. And in this fight, there are few personalities who support the presidential majority… Like the comedian and impersonator Gérald Dahan, who has never hidden his commitment to the left and will try his luck in the 3rd constituency. of Charente-Maritime under the colors of Nupes, the left-wing coalition. The imitator knows the music since he had already presented himself five years ago in the Hauts-de-Seine, under the label of La France insoumise, before breaking his teeth against Gabriel Attal… This time, he believes in his chances and does not fail to be ironic when one is surprised to see a humorist introduce himself: “We have seen some of the funniest who have been sent to the National Assembly without it being their job”, a- he told Agence France-Presse.
Another regular in political battles, the singer Francis Lalanne who presents himself without a label in the 3rd district of Charente. Known for having supported the Yellow Vests before taking the lead of the antivax crusade, the rebellious troubadour intends to surf on the fed up of some to try his luck in the National Assembly. “I present myself as a simple citizen to achieve responsibilities”, explained the singer, who calls himself “animalist, humanist, ecologist and sovereignist”, which allows to cast a fairly wide net…
Still among the opponents of the government, note the candidacy of Aymeric Caron, the former columnist of Laurent Ruquier in We are not lying, candidate in the 18th district of Paris under the colors of Nupes. “I went from journalism to committed journalism, then to writing books where I tackle social projects that I want to carry today on the legislative level”, he justified himself in the columns of Parisian.
Note also the high-profile candidacy of Laurent Baffie, in favor of the Animalist Party, a cause that has been close to his heart for a long time. He will thus present himself in June to the voters of the 3rd district of Paris. If the comedian is well aware of having no chance of winning, he nevertheless wanted to descend into the arena to give voice in favor of a party he had already supported during the European elections in 2019. “I will never be a politician, but I want to help these people who defend the animal cause, it’s important, said the comedian in The New Republic. I would never have shown up for any other reason…”
On the side of the presidential majority, the people are becoming rarer… We thus find the chef and host Babette de Rozières in the race in the 9th district of Yvelines, listed LR but who plays the spoilsports: she says she supports Emmanuel Macron, while the presidential majority has invested another candidate – the outgoing deputy Bruno Millienne -, which promises a good tussle, as Le Parisien suggests… Finally, the picture would be incomplete without the candidacy of Isabelle Seguin, 60, the winner of Koh-Lanta 2003, officially invested by the presidential party in the 4th district of Ain. With such a rough formation, his rivals should be wary…
