Legislative elections in France: Trumpification of the debate?

Legislative elections in France Trumpification of the debate

This Thursday, June 27, 2024, in the United States, it’s time for the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The two presidential candidates will compete to convince voters; a first debate before the presidential election in November. This debate promises to be tense, as Donald Trump’s remarks are divisive, sometimes very brutal. This style seems to have inspired France, because the debate, for these legislative elections, is peppered with violent, shocking declarations… reinforced by the lightning nature of this campaign… Is there a Trumpization of the political debate, in France ? How to interpret these new methods of communication, are they new?

To discuss it :

– Marc Créponresearch director at the CNRS, professor of philosophy at the École normale supérieure. He is the author of numerous philosophical works on the issues of violence, his latest book Seven lessons on violence, just published by Odile Jacob (studio)
