Jean-Frédéric Poisson

Jean-Frédéric Poisson (; born 22 January 1963) is a French right-wing politician and the president of VIA, the Way of the People (previously called the Christian Democratic Party). He was mayor of Rambouillet from 2004 to 2007, then became a National Assembly member from 2007 to 2017. and attended 8 schools, including reformatories, and was suspended from 7. He completed his dissertation, Bioethics, ethics, and humanism: the French laws of 1994, in 2001. He returned to school in 2011 to obtain a second licence, this time a degree in labor law from the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, which he completed in 2011. He credits her with his subsequent involvement in politics. before joining the National Assembly to represent Yvelines's 10th constituency.

He contended for his seat again in 2009 but was beaten by Anny Poursinoff. Months later, however, he succeeded Christine Boutin after a by-election following her appointment to Minister of Housing and Urban Development by Nicolas Sarkozy.

In 2017, he also lost the municipal majority for the first time since 1995. He was beaten by Rambouillet deputy mayor Gilles Schmidt, who Poisson claimed had promised he wouldn't run in the election.

In 2013, Christine Boutin resigned from her role as president of the Christian Democratic Party and Jean-Frédéric Poisson was appointed in her place. He came sixth in the first round with 1.5% of the vote and was eliminated.

In 2020, he announced he would be running in the for president in 2022 but withdrew his campaign in December 2021. He left the Rambouillet Municipal Council the same year after 25 years of service. Shortly after, Yann Barthès made a comment on his news show ‘’Quotidien’’ encouraging his audience to register for the Lovers of France with false information. He does not support the regime itself but trusts that a partnership will better protect and strengthen both countries, and that Syria is “the key to the Middle East.” He also wants more autonomy for schools, more independent schools outside of the French education system and for teachers to "enter into private law contracts." He even calls for a global ban on surrogates, claiming that women would become commodified and that surrogacy is already “a form of modern slavery.” He is particularly critical of same-sex marriage and was the only candidate in the 2016 Republican primaries to oppose it. Dismissal from the Republican primaries was briefly discussed and he apologized, saying he did not mean any offense and that he wanted to "reiterate here all the friendships I have for the state of Israel and for the Jewish people as a whole." He has voiced sympathies for the National Rally; would have voted for conservative Béziers mayor Robert Ménard had he been in the voting constituency; and said that, if Éric Zemmour made support of the “weakest” a more central part of his platform, then he would withdraw from the presidential race to make way for Zemmour’s victory.

COVID-19 pandemic Poisson is very critical of France’s actions during the 2020 COVID-19 quarantine periods. He claimed they would not work, and incorrectly argued that more than 850 people have died due to the COVID vaccine. He accused the government of “kill[ing] the country” and argued that people were developing more psychiatric disorders, experiencing more mental distress, and struggling with inaccessible autonomy during the pandemic. He is also in favour of reestablishing mandatory national service, which, in lieu of military service, might be “environmental, associative,” or educational.

Personal life Poisson and his wife, a psychologist, have no children. He started learning Arabic in 2014 so he could read the Quran to better understand the intent behind it. He hunts during his spare time.
