Lyon chosen for major campaign event

David Lisnard has selected Lyon to host a significant campaign event as part of his bid for the 2027 presidential election. The event, scheduled for Sunday, December 13, at 3 p.m. at Eurexpo, is expected to draw a larger crowd than previous gatherings.

Venue capacity indicates campaign growth

Eurexpo, a modular hall in Lyon, can hold between 3,000 and 5,000 people. This suggests Lisnard is aiming for a larger turnout than Gabriel Attal, who struggled to fill a 3,000-capacity venue in October of last year.

Event marks campaign milestone

The Lyon gathering is a milestone for Lisnard’s campaign, following three public meetings he held in Saint-Raphaël, Cannes, and Benfeld in the Bas-Rhin since July. The event signals a shift in scale for his campaign.

Lisnard seeks to expand political influence

Lisnard, the candidate of Nouvelle Énergie, aims to capitalize on the growth of his movement. Membership numbers in Lyon reportedly doubled in a month, indicating increasing support for his candidacy.

Lisnard leads in recent survey

Nationally, Lisnard has been credited with a higher score than Bruno Retailleau in an Ipsos-BVA survey published on October 24. He continues to push for an "open primary" on the right and center in anticipation of the 2027 presidential election.

Local political support bolsters campaign

Lisnard can count on local political support, including Béatrice de Montille, vice-president of the Lyon Metropolitan Area, who has aligned with his campaign for several years. This suggests that mayors and other electors may be shifting to his camp.
