My Take
Manuel Valls is one of the more restless political figures I've followed. A Spanish-born Frenchman who rose to Prime Minister under Hollande, then left to run for mayor of Barcelona, then circled back into French government, he doesn't fit any tidy national box. I read him as a centrist hardliner, tough on security, impatient with his own party's left, which won him admirers and a lot of enemies. The shelf of honours from France, Spain, and West Africa tells me he was taken seriously across borders. Whether you call that conviction or opportunism probably depends on which of his many chapters you watched.
