Gabriel Attal delivered his general policy speech to the deputies of the National Assembly. The Prime Minister announced new measures that he wishes to put in place to impose a “debureaucratization” and a “de-bureaucratization of France”, he also wishes to go further in the “reform of unemployment insurance, new conditions for the RSA and many others. A speech which did not fail to provoke a reaction from the political class.
The “most reactionary speech in a century” for Mélenchon
Attal is very unhappy because the people refuse to admit that they live in paradise. He harshly punishes the ungrateful: elimination of the minimum wage, compulsory free work for the RSA, etc. The most reactionary speech in a century.

Mathilde Panot deplores the lack of new measures to appease the anger of farmers. According to her, the emergency for the country is “the demacronization of this country and quickly because the people can no longer bear this policy.” In addition, the president of the La France insoumise-Nupes group calls on all deputies to vote for the motion of censure, a real vote of no confidence against the government: “Those who do not vote for the motion of censure will be de facto in the majority in this government”. Mathilde Panot believes that Gabriel Attal “has neither the confidence of the Assembly nor the confidence of the citizens”.
Fabien Roussel, for his part, points out the lack of “concrete announcements for farmers and workers”. The national secretary of the French Communist Party believes that the general policy speech was “very liberal, very very right-wing”. “It’s not Gabriel Attal, it’s Gabriel Thatcher,” he added on BFMTV.
Gabriel Thatcher spoke at the@AssembleeNat Today.
Nothing for the workers,
Nothing for the farmers,
Nothing for public services
Nothing to reduce our bills.It is France that is becoming poorer.
