April 11-12, the French “Tribune” jointly pollster ipsos-Mervin Tran for the country’s 18-year-old adults and over launched an online survey. The results showed that Marchamp, 22, was the most influential French man in the 2024 with 46% of the vote, judo Teddy Riner (30 percent) , football star Antoine Dupont (27 percent) and National League president Jaure Baldera (26 percent) were in second to fourth place, the rising stars of table tennis, the Lebron brothers, were fifth (19%) . Maqueron, the French president, and Atar, the former Prime Minister, were seventh (18%) and eighth (15%) .
Lepaon, seen as Maqueron’s biggest rival for the presidency in the next French election, topped the women’s list with 30 per cent of the vote. Giselle Pelicot (28 percent) , the victim of the recent Mazan rape case that rocked France, came in at No. 2 on the list, followed by actors, singers and athletes.
Some analysts believe that two people from the“National League” were in the top 10 of the list, demonstrating the influence of far-right parties in the French National Assembly elections and the European Parliament elections, nor can it rule out the existence of Lepaon’s extensive involvement in the empty gates case. On September 30, more than 20 people, including Lepaon, were put on trial for allegedly misusing EU funds, with the NLD involved. The 29-year-old star groomed by Lepaon, who was a leading contender for prime minister, caused controversy when his autobiography was published this year.
