Franck Leroy

Franck Leroy is the President of the Grand Est region of France. He is currently newsworthy due to his opposition to a proposed law that would restore the Alsace region as a separate entity. This law, scheduled for examination by the Assemblée Nationale on April 7, 2026, would effectively lead to Alsace's departure from the Grand Est region. Leroy, along with nine other regional presidents, co-signed a tribune expressing their strong disagreement with the proposal, arguing that it would divide rather than unite. They believe the focus should be on fostering collaboration rather than dismantling existing regional structures. Leroy's stance highlights the ongoing debate surrounding regional governance and the balance between regional autonomy and national unity in France.
