Guillaume Tabard: “Teddy Riner presidential candidate, new political offer or big communication trick”

Olympic judoka launches without elective mandate or state experience

Quick Look

Teddy Riner could become the first Olympic medalist to directly run for the presidency of the French Republic, despite the absence of an elective mandate, experience of the State and territorial anchoring, in the face of skepticism from the political class.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Several French Olympic medalists, including Guy Drut, Alain Calmat, Jean-François Lamour, Roger Bambuck and David Douillet, have already engaged in politics, but none has directly sought the presidency of the Republic without prior experience.

Font size

Another candidate, in the sense of one more candidate? Certainly. An other candidate, in the sense of a candidate different from the others? The demonstration remains to be made. After Guy Drut, Alain Calmat, Jean-François Lamour, Roger Bambuck or David Douillet, Teddy Riner would not be the first Olympic medalist to be seized by the virus of politics. But he is the first to claim to run for the supreme office straight away.

Without an elective mandate, without experience of the State, without territorial anchoring, without a political organization with oneself, can one become President of the Republic? Teddy Riner obviously knows the skepticism and even sarcasm that will greet his approach. But not mastering the grammar of politics is precisely the number one rule of a good communication manual. The policies have failed, are you disgusted by the policies? Well vote for me because I'm not a politician. The string is clearly visible. Ultimately, politics is the only domain…

Open Questions

  • ?Will Teddy Riner officially confirm his candidacy?
  • ?What political program could he propose?
  • ?What support could he get from parties or voters?
