proves that "a sharp mind, devastating humor and special attention to those with whom she works is a winning combination."

Hidalgo but not Macron

On the side of the leaders of this world, we find at the head not a head of state, but Dr. Anthony Fauci, member of the crisis cell on the Covid-19 of the American government and recently boasted by Donald Trump for his recommendations facing the pandemic, which go against the ideas of the President of the United States.

The host Jimmy Kimmel praised, in his portrait, his "refusal of political pressure" in order to "speak the truth, as difficult as it is to hear, with only one goal: to save lives".

Donald Trump is also in the rankings, as is his US presidential opponent Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris.

But the surprise may come with Anne Hidalgo, whose portrait was written by former US Vice President Al Gore.

Very honored to be part of the # Time100 2020 ranking of @TIME, for my commitment to the climate emergency.

Many thanks to @AlGore for their warm words.

The latter describes her as "a visionary leader, the kind of leader who demonstrates that local action can solve the climate crisis".

On the other hand, no Emmanuel Macron in this ranking of the 100 most influential personalities of the year, while his German counterpart, Angela Merkel, is present.
