According to a credible source, the former French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the politician's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 18/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Moscovici 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 67-year-old politician, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Moscovici so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he 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 ‘Paris Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Paris (Pierre Moscovici'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:
“Pierre Moscovici Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 17 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Pierre has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 17 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Pierre Moscovici?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 17 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Pierre Moscovici?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
