Lyon gathering planned for David Lisnard

Presidential election candidate David Lisnard will hold a campaign gathering in Lyon on Sunday, December 13. The event is being organized by Eurexpo, a large exhibition and convention center in the city.

Event size and significance

The gathering could welcome up to 5,000 people, according to Le Figaro. This would be the largest meeting organized by Lisnard since the beginning of his campaign, which started in July.

Campaign locations and growth

Since July, Lisnard has held meetings in Saint-Raphaël (Var), Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes), and Benfeld (Bas-Rhin). In Lyon, memberships in his political group, Nouvelle Énergie, have doubled in a month, and his voting intentions have increased significantly.

Survey results and political positioning

According to an Ipsos-BVA survey published on October 24, Lisnard was ahead of Bruno Retailleau, a former Minister of the Interior, in public opinion polls. Lisnard, who also leads the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), has been pushing for a unified right and center movement.

Call for unity and campaign momentum

Lisnard has urged Éric Ciotti, a prominent right-wing politician, to drop out of the race and join his movement for unity. With this Lyon meeting, Lisnard aims to boost his campaign ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
