Braun-Pivet Denounces 'Club of Machos' in France's 2027 Presidential Field

Her call for mixed teams challenges the savior-style leadership model common in French politics.

Overview

  • Yaël Braun-Pivet, who leads the National Assembly, used an RTL interview Tuesday to label the field of male hopefuls a "club of machos."
  • She said she does not believe in a "supreme savior" president and urged a leadership style built on teamwork.
  • Pointing to her own camp, she noted that the government-aligned contenders mentioned so far are all men, including Édouard Philippe, Gabriel Attal, Gérald Darmanin, Bruno Retailleau, and David Lisnard.
  • She called for women to be "around the table" and pressed for mixed-gender teams to draft a shared project for France.
  • Asked if she will run in 2027, she did not rule it out and said the moment has not come to give an answer.
