They may be the leaders of tomorrow. One is a minister at 33, the other, 26, is a party leader. Gabriel Attal supports Emmanuel Macron, Jordan Bardella supports Marine Le Pen.
That’s another campaign story. That of two young men, two lieutenants who will perhaps be the leaders of tomorrow. One is already a minister at 33, the other party leader at 26. They represent two political projects, two opposing models of society but have the same goal: for their mentor to become president. Gabriel Attal supports Emmanuel Macron, Jordan Bardella supports Marine Le Pen.
Behind the scenes of a fierce battle
Jordan Bardella still votes in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis), where his mother lives, in the poorest department of metropolitan France. He is a regional councillor. Gabriel Attal votes in the more affluent Hauts-de-Seine. Government spokesman, municipal councillor, he lives in Vanves. This is the story of two lieutenants, two faces of youth who emerge in the frenzy of the between-two-turns. “Special Envoy” followed them behind the scenes of this fierce battle that is the presidential election.
A report by Clément Le Goff, Yannick Sanchez, Elodie Delevoye, Guillaume Marque, Claire-Marie Denis, Gaëlle Pidoux and Christine Trescartes broadcast in “Special Envoy” on April 14, 2022.
Guest : Gaspard Gantzer, former adviser to François Hollande, president of the communication agency Gantzer Agency.
