Sonia Mabrouk, a prominent political interviewer, announced her resignation from the French radio station Europe 1, shortly after stepping down from CNews. In her statement, she expressed her decision to leave her political interview position, citing her commitment to her current situation and her impending motherhood, as she is expecting her second child next spring. Mabrouk's departure leaves a notable vacancy in 'La grande interview,' a key segment in the morning lineup of Europe 1 and CNews that engages audiences with political discussions and current events.

This change initiates a wave of speculation regarding potential candidates to take on Mabrouk's role in the political landscape of French media. Le Figaro's TV Magazine has speculated on various potential replacements, including well-known figures like Laurence Ferrari and Clélie Mathias, both of whom have made significant contributions to political journalism in France. This transition comes at a time when political interviews are crucial for engaging citizens in the run-up to a number of significant political events and elections, emphasizing the importance of Mabrouk’s role.

Mabrouk's career trajectory has underscored the evolving nature of political commentary within French media, as new voices emerge to replace established figures. Her departure not only marks a personal milestone but also reflects the dynamic landscape of French political journalism, where shifts in personnel can have significant implications for editorial direction and audience engagement. As Europe 1 and CNews seek to appoint a successor, the choice will likely influence their programming and the broader political discourse in France.
