Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Dominique de Villepin officially declares his candidacy for the 2027 French presidential election by the election's official candidate registration deadline. Official declarations are typically announced through press releases, public statements, or official filings with the French Constitutional Council. Verification will be based on reputable news sources and official announcements.

Background

Dominique de Villepin, born on November 14, 1953, in Rabat, Morocco, is a French diplomat, writer, and politician who served as Prime Minister of France from 2005 to 2007 under President Jacques Chirac. He is renowned for his 2003 speech at the United Nations opposing the U.S. invasion of Iraq. After leaving office, de Villepin remained active in international affairs and public discourse.

In recent years, de Villepin has re-emerged in the French political scene. In June 2025, he founded a new political party, La France Humaniste, signaling a potential return to active politics. This move has fueled speculation about his intentions for the 2027 presidential election. (fr.wikipedia.org)

Considerations

While de Villepin has increased his public presence and founded a new political party, as of June 25, 2025, he has not officially declared his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. His recent activities suggest a possible interest, but without a formal announcement, his participation remains speculative.
