By Victor Goury-Laffont Verified| POLITICO Europe Verified Mounting a successful presidential bid after such an unceremonious end to his premiership is a long shot. The 74-year-old would need to make the case to French voters that he would be best placed to lead France in an increasingly uncertain global order despite having failed to navigate a fragmented political landscape domestically. Barnier ran for president in 2022, but fell at the first hurdle, placing third in his conservative Les Républicains party’s internal primary.
By Max Griera Verified, Victor Goury-Laffont Verified| POLITICO Europe Verified Paradol told POLITICO that he had served as both a part-time local parliamentary assistant and Bardella’s chief of staffduring his previous term as an MEP, which ended in 2024, and had had no problem establishing a division of labor between the two jobs.

By Judith Chetrit Verified, Victor Goury-Laffont Verified| POLITICO Europe Verified PARIS — The French Agriculture Ministry is facing heat for suggesting racially motivated casting choices in an organic foods advertisement. Emails seen by POLITICO show that Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard's office asked that the production company in charge of the ad "cast a Caucasian" first scene of the ad. While the emails do not define the actor's ethnicity, a slideshow from the production company includes a photograph of an adolescent who is not white.
