They met on the 8 p.m. set at the time of the 2022 legislative elections. At that time, Gabriel Attal was Minister Delegate in charge of Public Accounts, and reported to Bruno Le Maire, whom he now leads. The new Prime Minister was invited by Anne-Claire Coudray and Gilles Bouleau to react to the defeat of the Reconquest party in the legislative elections, which, although remaining in the majority, had to surrender 106 seats to the opposition. These seats were mainly won by NUPES (74), headed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and by the National Rally (+81) with Marine Le Pen. It was also a bitter defeat for the historic Republican partywhich, led by Christian Jacob, went from 130 deputies to only 64.
On the 8 p.m. set, at the time of the results, Rachida Dati and Gabriel Attal had a little skirmish, which, two years later, is making people laugh on social networks. The former Minister of Justice, who has just been appointed Minister of Culture, did not hesitate to tackle his new boss, with his legendary frankness: “The Prime Minister is a bit like the leader of the majority, he is the one who campaigns a bit, who convenes meetings. No, but you are happy with the result ? No, but Mr. Attal, tell the truth about that!” had stung the French political figure, who had pushed the young politician to his limits. Quite annoyed, the new Prime Minister who succeeds Elisabeth Borne tried to answer him: “I started this evening by explaining that this was not the result we were hoping for, and that I was not hiding behind my little finger!”
Rachida Dati fired from the Republicans
A response that Rachida Dati really liked, who grabbed Gabriel Attal by the shoulder, to congratulate him ironically: “It’s good, it’s good!” A sequence that has greatly amused the Web for several hours: “We noticed his rapprochement with Gabriel Attal on the TF1 set during the legislative elections” laughs an Internet user. The appointment of Rachida Dati to Culture is the surprise of this new government, but is not without consequences for the mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
