As the year 2022 comes to an end, the Tagaday monitoring platform has identified the 10 people who have been talked about the most in the French media. And unsurprisingly, this ranking is dominated by Emmanuel Macron. 2022 was the year the head of state was re-elected against Marine Le Pen. The former boss of the National Rally also occupies second place behind her great political rival.
Among the ten most publicized personalities are three other former candidates for the presidential election. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who once again came close to qualifying in the second round, comes in fourth position, three places ahead of Éric Zemmour. Even if he won only 7% of the votes in the first round, the leader of the new Reconquest party was one of the big attractions of this media-political period. The unfortunate candidate of the Republicans Valérie Pécresse brings up the rear with tenth place. Mired in very gross communication errors, the president of the Île-de-France region was one of the big losers of this year 2022.
A year also of course marked by the conflict in Ukraine triggered in February by Russia. On February 23, Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a “special military operation”. On the night of the 23rd to the 24th, Ukrainian territory was shelled, and Russian troops began the invasion of the territory headed by Volodymyr Zelensky. These two leaders as well as Joe Biden therefore appear, unsurprisingly, in the ranking of the most cited personalities in 2022.
A hierarchy where only one athlete is found, but not just any one. Despite his painful defeat in the World Cup final in Qatar, Kylian Mbappé remains THE star of the France team and one of the biggest stars of football. In any case, we hope to quickly sweep away the images of disappointment of the French striker, shot down on December 18 and see him smiling again and trophies in his hands next year.
