It has been almost two months since Gabriel Attal was appointed Prime Minister in place of Élisabeth Borne. The former Socialist Party activist tries to assert himself in Matignon, despite the difficulties and possible low blows from his collaborators. But obviously, the 34-year-old young man, little protégé of Emmanuel Macron since he switched sides in 2017, by following the future President of the Republic in his adventure at the Élysée, would no longer have such a close relationship with the Head of State. As reported The Parisian, this Sunday, March 3, the head of state and his right arm would probably not no longer really on the same wavelength.
In any case, this is what a privileged witness interviewed by our colleagues says. Referring to the management of the agricultural crisis by Emmanuel Macron and the tenant of Matignon, he considered that it “There is a speed race on both sides” and that they “cutting the rug out from under each other” by trying, in turn, to manage farmers desperate by their working conditions and their financial exploitation by industrialists and large groups. “We don’t really know what game we are in anymore,” he added. It must be said that in three weeks, the trade union organizations will be received at the Élysée to say more about the many problems that the body of this difficult profession encounters on a daily basis. For his part, Gabriel Attal will receive these speakers every month playing the spokespersons for farmers in Matignon, to follow the evolution of the crisis and try to find solutions.

A relationship that is always “fluid”, according to the Élysée
As revealed Le Parisien, “on the bottom too, it’s tiring” between the two politicians since, said an insider, “the Élysée thinks that Matignon is letting go too much. And Matignon finds that the Élysée is doing anything”, alluding in particular to the Rue de Varenne invitation from the Uprisings of the Earth to the President’s great debate. Difficult to find a compromise even if, internally, no one wants to talk about tension between them: “It’s fluid…” And Gabriel Attal, for his part, plays the eternally grateful by saying, whenever he has the opportunity, how much he “owes everything” to Emmanuel Macron, who trusted him and allowed him to achieve a meteoric rise in politics since the first presidential term.
