Aid in dying: implementation of the law and expectations of the French

In late October 2026, a lawyer from Saint-Étienne criticizes the implementation deadlines of the aid-in-dying law, promulgated this summer but whose entry into force was not expected before 2027. In early November, a patient with Charcot disease testifies to his choice to resort to aid in dying, while sick people and their relatives turn to information structures. On November 3, the government confirms implementation in January 'as planned.' On November 4, a poll indicates that 44% of the French would not vote for a candidate wanting to repeal the law, and the City of Paris is ordered to pay 1,800 euros to three associations for a poster campaign in favor of euthanasia launched in May 2024.
