While Gabriel Attal has just succeeded Elisabeth Borne as Prime Minister and a reshuffle is expected before the weekend of January 13, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, former Prime Minister, was the guest of “4 Truths” of France 2, Wednesday.
For Jean-Pierre Raffarin, the choice of Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister is “a common sense decision but it had to be taken, and for that, you need audacity.” He says he was not surprised by this choice and emphasizes the popularity of Gabriel Attal. “He brings things to the president, he brings popularity, perspective, his youth, his energy”. He believes that Emmanuel Macron “can leave a margin of maneuver if he has a professional in front of him”which is, according to him, the case of Gabriel Attal.
“The majority today needs to expand to get its texts across and it can only expand to the center and the center-right”estimates the historical framework of the UMP, recalling that he left the LR “when they didn’t want to choose between Le Pen and Macron.”
“It’s an important sacrifice to go to Matignon”
On the question of the vote of confidence, which had been renounced Elizabeth Borne, the former Prime Minister judges that “if there really is a sulk in Parliament, there is no need for him to systematically go to the wall. It is an important sacrifice to go to Matignon. There are a lot of worries, a lot of difficulties, There’s no point adding to it.”
For Jean-Pierre Raffarin, the age of Gabriel Attal, 34, is a chance. “We must show that the 2027 wall can be crossed, that’s Attal”, he explains. He draws advice from his own experience for the new Prime Minister: “Don’t try to seduce too early! I believe that action should not give in to seduction”he concludes.
