“Dear Gabriel Attal, I know I can count on your energy and your commitment to implement the rearmament and regeneration project that I announced. In fidelity to the spirit of 2017: surpassing and audacity. In the service of Nation and the French”. This is how Emmanuel Macron announced the appointment of Gabriel Attal, to the post of Prime Minister, on January 9, 2024, confirming information from VSD, the day after the resignation of Élisabeth Borne.
“I welcome the appointment of Gabriel Attal”
At 34, Gabriel Attal became the youngest man to join Matignon, after Laurent Fabius, in 1984, appointed by François Mitterrand at 37. And the former Minister of Education, who was also responsible for public accounts, as well as spokesperson for the government and the Republic on the Move (formerly Renaissance), immediately received the compliments of the man who shares his life.
Indeed, the one who succeeds Élisabeth Borne is in a relationship with a certain Stéphane Séjourné, current Secretary General of Renaissance, aged 38. On the Web, the politician complimented the one who has just had a major promotion. He explained : “I welcome the appointment of Gabriel Attal. We need his talent to pursue our political commitments. Thanks to Élisabeth Borne for all the work accomplished”.
Floods of criticism on the Web
A tribute already mocked by the haters, on “Given your relationship with him, this risks causing a certain number of bursts of laughter from French citizens. You would have done better to keep quiet”“Between lovers, we support each other”, “Don’t do too much either”, “He’s going to appoint his boyfriend to the government”, or even “Well at the same time he’s your guy“. Atmosphere.
I welcome the appointment of @GabrielAttal. We need his talent for the pursuit of our political commitments. Thanks to @Elisabeth_Borne for all the work accomplished.
