According to a well-informed source, the mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the politician's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 24/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Hidalgo for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 65-year-old politician, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Hidalgo so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the politician have already been named ‘French Of The Year’ by some major French newspapers and even ‘San Fernando Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in San Fernando (Anne Hidalgo's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the politician was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Anne Hidalgo Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Anne has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Anne Hidalgo?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Anne Hidalgo?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
