On the one hand, Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and N’Golo Kante played (not brilliantly yet!), on the other hand, a more muscular option represented by Gabriel Attal, Jordan Bardella and Manuel Bompard or Olivier Faure, to win the National Assembly. In June of this year, unexpected legislative elections affected Euro 2024, which football fans had been waiting for months, still mourning the World Cup final lost by the Blues in December 2022 to the Argentina national team. Two very strong news series that monopolize the attention of the French, forcing them to switch from one channel to another and make a choice. And not necessarily the ones we think about.
“I watch the Euro because I’m tired of it. It’s not the debates that will make me choose one candidate or another,” grumbles Alexandre, 46, taking a drag on his e-cigarette. Many of them like the 40-year-old man in a blue polo shirt, prostrate at the entrance to the Montparnasse train station in Paris (14th arrondissement). According to Médiamétrie, 9.35 million people watched France’s draw with Poland live on Tuesday. Or 53.8% of the population. Since the launch of the competition, Didier Deschamps’ men have recorded the top three viewers of the year, with a peak of 11.2 million people who took part in the race against Austria. Twice as many as the legislative debates organized by TF1 on Tuesday evening, which attracted 5.24 million voters (26.6%).
