In 2024, our daily lives will change to adapt to the traditional novelties of January 1st, but this is nothing compared to the upheavals that are coming around us. From Moscow to Washington, via India and Mexico, half the world will vote. In total, some 4 billion humans in 70 countries will or will not change presidents or deputies, including more than 360 million Europeans called to renew the Strasbourg Parliament next June.

All these elections certainly do not have the same stakes. The Russian democratic farce leaves little doubt about the political future of Vladimir Putin. The world has long understood that its destiny would be decided elsewhere than at the ballot box. It is not the same in the United States where nothing really seems to prevent Donald Trump from running for a new term. His return would be a shock well beyond the United States. The current tenant of the White House, Joe Biden, has largely played his part in the disorders shaking the world, in the conflict between Israel and Hamas but also in Ukraine or in the tensions between Taiwan and China. Against all odds, the old democrat was able to impose a vision in the current chaos. What would happen between the eccentricities and the isolationist temptations of a Trump? Modi’s succession in Delhi is hardly more innocuous. Although this country is less familiar to us than the United States, it is the fifth largest economic power in the world.
