Gabriel Attal appointed Prime Minister: the irresistible rise – (franceinfo)
Gabriel Attal was appointed, at the age of 34, Prime Minister by Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday January 9. Relive the meteoric rise of a macronie student.
At 34, Gabriel Attal joins Matignon. A close friend of Emmanuel Macron, loyal from the start. There is an obvious understanding and complicity between them. Promoted to Minister of National Education during the summer, Gabriel Attal wanted to embody firmness. “At some point, tolerance is okay, kindness is okay”, he declared. Mastering the codes of communication, he appears on the ground and in action to carry out reforms.
Criticisms of his elitist career
Today, the unions regret his brief move to National Education. Many people criticize him for an elitist career: schooling at the École Alsacienne, a private establishment where he practiced theater, then studies at Sciences Po Paris, before joining the Socialist Party. For the left, Gabriel Attal ended up denying this political commitment. Member of Parliament for Hauts-de-Seine at 28 and member of the government at 29, he has a faultless record.
