Gabriel Attal succeeds Élisabeth Borne. After much speculation, the 34-year-old politician who had been Minister of Education for 5 months has just obtained the coveted position at Matignon. Previously, Joyce’s former companion Jonathan, who today fully embraces his homosexuality, held the position of government spokesperson, as well as spokesperson for La République en Marche. We note that he also had the Public Accounts portfolio for a little over a year. Today he becomes the youngest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic.
By obtaining this promotion, Gabriel Attal has also just obtained a raise. By being appointed Prime Minister this Tuesday, January 9, 2024, Gabriel Attal will in fact receive 15,900 euros gross per month, like the Head of State. Our colleagues from Capital explain that this salary is “calculated in the same way as that of civil service agents, that is to say on the basis of the index point”.
Decree No. 2012-983 of August 23, 2012, relating to the salary of the President of the Republic and members of the government, stipulates that “the monthly gross salary of ministers and delegated ministers is equivalent to 1.4 times the average salary the highest and the lowest salary received by civil servants occupying state jobs classified in the “off-scale” category,” our colleagues continue. In addition to this sum, there is added a residence allowance which would represent 3% of the salary, as well as a function allowance, equal to 25% of the sum of the salary and the residence allowance.
Claire Chazal tipped to be Minister of Culture?
This Wednesday, January 10, 2024, The Parisian made a revelation. The name of Claire Chazal would have been circulating regarding the post of Minister of Culture. “It has circulated a little. But it has never been a truly studied hypothesis” declares a close friend of the President of the Republic. According to information from our colleagues, the name of the journalist who is close to Gabriel Attal “received the categorical veto of several Elysee advisors”. If it is still Rima Abdul-Malak who occupies this position for the moment, her future within the government seems uncertain.
This is not the first time that the name of the former presenter of 8 p.m. on TF1 has been circulating at the top of the State. Already in 2018, the former presenter of the TF1 news would have refused the position, leaving room for Franck Riester, a former Republican recalls The Parisian.
