This paper utilises Stephanie Paterson’s empathic policy analysis framework as
it explores the discursive co nstruction of political leadership. The research focuses on the
empathy French President Emmanuel Macron used during his public speech, delivered
on October 12, 2023. The study identifies two emotional discourses that shape this
representation of empathetic political leadership. The article analyses the assumptions
underpinning this representation and the silences (that which has been left unspoken or
implied) associated with it, as well as important implications for people’s lives.
