Jonny Gould's Jewish State 177: Shannon Seban: “Political life has become very violent, to be honest.”
The podcast which prides itself in introducing new voices to the world on the issues we all care about.
This is Shannon Seban, a young standout politician from Paris. She’s a conviction politician who believes if you behave otherwise, eventually you’ll lose trust and votes.
Shannon currently serves as a municipal councilor in Rosny-sous-Bois and president of Macron’s Renaissance party in Seine-Saint-Denis, it’s where she was born and raised, a diverse and socio-economically challenged area.
Her upbringing there has significantly shaped her politics, she challenges stereotypes about youth from underprivileged neighborhoods.
But it comes at quite cost.
From Algerian Jewish background, She filed complaints about antisemitic abuse she received during her campaign in 2023 and 2024.
She refuses to kowtow to any party line, so where does she stand on President Macron since October 7th. Is Macron becoming a liability? Is she being courted by other parties? How far can she go in French politics?
This is Shannon Seban.
