My Take
Gérald Darmanin fascinates me less for any single policy than for his sheer staying power. Holding the French Interior Ministry, arguably the most thankless post in government, for four straight years and then pivoting to Justice takes a particular kind of nerve. He's a deeply polarizing figure, and I won't pretend to settle the debate around him. But I respect anyone who plants themselves in the eye of the storm on security and migration and refuses to flinch. Whatever you make of his politics, the man does not run from a fight, and that resilience is worth noting.
