Who do the French trust to “reinvent” their country? First in Edouard Philippe, according to an Ifop poll for Europe 1 and “La Tribune” revealed this Monday. 45% of those polled indeed have confidence in their Prime Minister.
Respondents were to assess 37 personalities. Politicians, but also scientists and intellectuals. The second in the ranking, with 44%, is none other than Nicolas Hulot, the former Minister of Ecology. “The controversial scientist Didier Raoult surprisingly came third in this poll”, with 42%, writes Europe 1.
Even better in the southeast of the country
“Adored by some and hated by others”, the ultra-publicized virologist during this coronavirus pandemic is doing even better on his land, in the south-eastern quarter of France, where the Marseille-Mediterranean IHU is located “in which he valiantly defended chloroquine ”. There, 53% of those questioned trust him to reinvent France.
Behind this podium, there are several political leaders, mainly from the right: Xavier Bertrand (38%), Nicolas Sarkozy (36%) or François Baroin (36%). President Macron is ninth (32%).
Deputy Director of Ifop, Frédéric Dabi said on Europe 1 that he was “struck” by the number of “right-wing personalities” in good position in this survey, even though environmentalists have just won several major French town halls. “The left has a very strong political space but lacks personalities in the event of incarnation,” he commented.
