French Singer Patrick Sรฉbastien โPlans Political โคRole Following Criticism of Alain SouchonS Remarks onโ Far-Right Voters
Paris,โ France – Entertainer Patrick Sรฉbastien is preparing to activelyโฃ engageโ in the 2027 โFrench presidential election, collecting policy proposals from โขcitizens to presentโค to candidates, following a publicโข disagreement sparkedโข byโ singer Alain โคsouchon’s comments about โขvoters perhaps โsupportingโ the National Front (now Rassemblement National). Souchon stated onโข Friday that he doubted “the French are stupid enough to elect someone from the National โFront to lead.”
Sรฉbastien, author of โขthe recently published book Not even afraid, characterizedโข Souchon’s statement โas dismissive and out of touch. Sรฉbastien Chenu,a deputy from theโค North,echoedโข this sentiment,describing Souchon’sโค words โas “displaced,disconnected and contemptuous” in a Sunday appearance on The Grand โฃJuryโฃ RTL-Public Senate- Le Figaro-M6.Chenu countered thatโ French citizens are โ”intelligent enough โto break with all the policies that make them unhappy.” The exchange highlights a growing tension surrounding perceptions of the electorate andโข the โpotential rise of far-right political movements in France.
Sรฉbastien clarified on BFM television November 17th that โwhile he intends to be a significant voice in the upcoming โขelection cycle, heโ does not plan to run for president himself. Instead, โคhe is focusing on gatheringโค input directly from theโ French public to inform the platforms of โpotential candidates.This initiative aims to ensure that the โคconcerns of everyday citizens are โคaddressed during the campaign.
