Crucial year for 44-year-old Ron Desandes. The wildly popular governor of Florida, who was re-elected in November as head of the southeastern US state, is expected to announce his candidacy in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
This rising star of the conservative camp will face in this case his former mentor, Donald Trump, who now calls him “Ron de Sanctimonius”, “Ron the Hypocrite”.
Kristalina Georgieva
The Director General of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Kristalina Georgieva will in 2023 be at the forefront of dealing with a debt crisis on a large scale.
The pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have weakened the global economy, triggered an explosion in sovereign debt and fueled skyrocketing inflation. Between rising interest rates and a deflating recession, some of the most vulnerable countries are at risk of default.
Prince Harry
After his high-profile exit from the royal family with wife Meghan in 2020, the shock interview he gave in 2021, and a documentary series broadcast by Netflix on December 8, Prince Harry is releasing his memoirs in January.
This book, entitled “Spare” (Reserve, Substitute) risks causing a lot of noise, a few months before the coronation of his father, Charles, on May 6.
Bob Iger
Bob Iger, who was called back to head Disney in November, has two years to save his legacy and cover losses from streaming platforms, with which the giant American entertainment company sought to attack Netflix. His predecessor, Bob Chapek, who left without fanfare, had drawn the ire of Florida Gov. Ron Desandes by criticizing his “Don’t Say Gay” law. This law prohibits the teaching of topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary education. In retaliation, Desandes revoked the special status that the Disney World theme park in Florida had had since the 1960s.
Ons Zambert
The first woman from the Arab world to claim the final of the Wimbledon tournament, Tunisian tennis player Ons Zamber has two goals for the new year: to become No. 1 in the world and to win a Grand Slam tournament. Second in the world and aged 28, she is a star in Tunisia, where the Minister of Sports awarded her the title of “Minister of Happiness”. The tennis player, who started climbing the professional ranks in 2018, made her whole country fall in love with tennis.
Sidney McLaughlin
American Sydney McLaughlin, the first runner to break the 51-second mark in the 400m hurdles, is expected to excel at the next world track and field championships in Budapest in August. The 23-year-old champion, who has already smashed the world record (50’68) four times in her sport, has hinted that she might try the 400m or 100m hurdles.
Peter Obi
Will he make a surprise in the presidential elections to be held in February in Nigeria? Labour’s Peter Obi wants to embody the change the youth of Africa’s most populous country are waiting for by succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari.
The 61-year-old Catholic, who claims he has had the same watch for 17 years and that the shoes he wears cost less than 60 euros, is seen as the incorruptible candidate against his rivals in Nigeria’s two main parties.
Margot Robbie
To play ‘Barbie’ alongside Ryan Gosling in feminist director Greta Gerwig’s long-awaited film, then reunite with Brad Pitt in Damien Chazelle’s ‘Babylon’: Aussie star Margot Robbie continues her spectacular rise in Hollywood next year .
Chai Ing-wen
President of Taiwan since 2016, Tsai Ing-wen will have to face in the coming months growing pressure from China, which has multiplied raids on the island’s airspace, which has been separated from the mainland since 1949.
Last August, tensions reached a new unprecedented level after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, to which Beijing responded with large military exercises.
Victor Uebaniama
The “alien” Victor Ubanyama is widely believed to be the number one basketball player of the next NBA draft, the nursery from which the teams of the American championship are drawn, next June.
With a height of 2.21 m, he has just come of age, but he is already closely watched by the American public. He plays for the Metropolitans 92 (Paris team), whose matches are televised in the USA, something unprecedented for a non-American league and a non-American player.
