Introduction

I'm going to discuss populism in the politic world in France. Here, populism means "peopolisation" in French. It is an excessive exposure of private life of an important person like a politician. It is an Anglo-Saxon neologism.
Populism began with John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in the United States during the 1960's. He let the film cameras of the mass media film and photograph his private life. In United Kingdom, this practice developed with the tabloid press such as the Sun, the Daily Express...
In France it began about ten years later with Valery Giscard d'Estaing during his election campaign and his mandate. He ate with French people in their homes whilst being filmed by the television media.
This exposure is possible thanks to the tabloid press, the development of television in the homes of French people. But it was also thanks to the government which wanted to control and allign its image more closely with ordinary people.

We can ask us a question : [I am not sure if this is what you mean, but perhaps this instead...] To what extent does a politician's image impinge on their own private lives and escape from their own control?

If this populism allow to have advantages for the government, it is not without any danger.
