Gérald Darmanin appeared this Thursday on the front page of “Paris Match” alongside his wife and children.
A way, for the Minister of the Interior, to reveal himself to the French, in a more intimate way.
An approach which could constitute a step in the development of his presidential ambition.
This is the image of the day.
That of Gérald Darmanin, on the front page of
Paris Match
, all smiles on the phone in his office at the Ministry of the Interior, with one of his sons on his lap.
In a four-page interview, the tenant of Place Beauvau talks about insecurity, a child protection plan, but above all delivers a very personal approach which suggests his presidential ambition.
A way to reveal yourself to the French.
We see him descending the steps of the ministry, tricycle in hand, alongside his eldest son, but also with his wife, in his office in Beauvau where he appears just behind his two young boys, standing in front of a large map of the world.
In the news this week!

“An additional step in meeting the French”
Enough to recall Nicolas Sarkozy who, in 2002 and also in
Paris Match
, had posed with his wife, Cécilia, and his young son Louis, lying under the desk, a nod to the photo of John F. Kennedy, taken at the White House in 1963 with his son.

For Franck Louvrier, former communications advisor to Nicolas Sarkozy, this sequence has everything of a stage in a presidential journey.
"It's an additional step in meeting the French. These are very popular newspapers, which are widely read, and the French want to know who runs us. As a result, this part where we reveal ourselves is a necessity in the presidential career.
In this interview, Gérald Darmanin develops, among other things, his vision for France.
“I work with common sense as my compass and social Gaullism as my political inspiration,” declared the Minister of the Interior in particular.
