France · Declared candidacy · Presidential election 2027
A man of the people. For the people.
Daniel Ricklin is pursuing a declared citizen-led candidacy that seeks to bring together continuity of the state, accountability and popular decision-making. Admission to the ballot depends on the legal requirements, including 500 validated nominations from eligible elected officials. The project does not propose hereditary power or a return to the Ancien Régime.
Build before making promises
From vocational training in the environment of the Compagnons du Devoir to timber construction, ecological building and entrepreneurship, Daniel Ricklin entered public debate without a career in party politics. His method starts with a practical need: understand it, organise the skills required, test a response and account for what is delivered.
His background and public commitments · The founding manifesto
A stable state, accountable to its citizens
Nouvelle Monarchie calls for an authority that can act over the long term, remains limited by law and answers for its decisions. Political legitimacy belongs to citizens, through elections and properly safeguarded forms of direct democracy.
- Citizen-initiated referendums: give people a direct role in public decisions.
- Integrity in government: make influence and conflicts of interest open to scrutiny.
- Work and production: address practical barriers facing businesses and trades.
- Concrete freedoms: protect expression, privacy and personal autonomy.
- Essential services: examine access to healthcare, education, justice and security.
- Civic peace: reject hatred and judge people by their actions.
The six published measures distinguish existing law, proposed changes, costs that still need to be established and outcomes that can be evaluated.
A method before a list of promises
- Listen to lived experience: citizens, professionals and local communities.
- Publish the choices: benefits, costs and limits.
- Consult directly: put decisions to citizens under clear rules.
- Measure results: publish and correct what does not work.
Campaign spending must be visible
The project rejects paid political advertising and publishes a financial register. Its financial statement dated 20 September 2026 identifies €11 in specifically documented expenditure for the domain name. This is not the full cost of the project. Existing subscriptions, shared technical resources and non-cash contributions are being listed separately and their treatment is followed with the campaign’s financial representative.
Madintouch, Mad2Moi and Nouvelle Monarchie have distinct purposes. Commercial contact lists are not reused for the political project. Any shared technical resources must be declared and assessed rather than concealed behind a claim of absolute separation.
500 nominations to make participation possible
Nominating a person for the presidential ballot does not mean endorsing all their ideas. The legal threshold requires 500 eligible elected officials from at least 30 departments or overseas collectivities, with no more than one tenth from any one territory. An announced candidacy is not an official admission to the election.
A publication for examining power and public choices
The campaign opens a debate; the editorial publication is intended to give that debate a lasting, accessible record. Nouvelle Monarchie publishes analyses, explainers and dossiers, while making its connection to Daniel Ricklin’s candidacy explicit. It is not presented as an independent newsroom detached from its founder.

Read the exact transcript
Welcome to Nouvelle Monarchie. This website presents Daniel Ricklin’s declared presidential initiative and publishes features about institutions, sovereignty and democratic life in France. Announcing a candidacy does not mean admission to the ballot. Admission depends on the legal requirements and the list established by France’s Constitutional Council. The candidacy section introduces his background, the working programme and information for elected representatives. Proposals should be examined alongside their practical arrangements, costs and safeguards. Documents that are still being developed must remain clearly identified. The media section brings together analysis and sourced features. It is published by Nouvelle Monarchie, the initiative led by Daniel Ricklin. It is not an editorial organisation independent of its publisher. Source links, dates and corrections help readers return to the original documents and distinguish facts, statements and opinions. This introduction uses Alicia Walker, a synthetic voice. The complete transcript is available on the page. Take time to read, check the sources and form your own view.
