Michel Sardou expresses political preferences for 2027

French singer Michel Sardou has shared his political views regarding the 2027 presidential election in an interview with La Tribune Dimanche. Sardou expressed a strong desire for Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank, to run for office. He cited her deep economic expertise as a necessary asset to prevent France from facing a financial crisis similar to that of Greece.

Sardou also commented on other political figures, praising Reconquête MEP Sarah Knafo for her precision and ability to handle media confrontations, though he stated he would not issue a formal call to vote for her. Regarding Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Sardou clarified that while he would not leave France if Mélenchon won, he would actively oppose him.

While Sardou noted he believes in a potential victory for Marine Le Pen, he expressed skepticism regarding certain aspects of her program, specifically concerning retirement age. He also identified himself as being on the right but not the extreme right, noting his current disappointment with President Emmanuel Macron.
