This Sunday, February 11, 2024, Gabriel Attal took to his Instagram account to share a photo of his new and (already) faithful companion. In jeans and sneakers, the Prime Minister poses in a casual look on the steps of Matignon and affirms his commitment to the animal cause alongside Volta, an adorable little chow-chow.
The art of transforming a controversy into a real publicity stunt. This Sunday, February 11, 2024, Gabriel Attal seized his account Instagram to orchestrate a real communication operation. Following the controversy caused by this photo of a dog that the tenant of Matignon showed to his parliamentary colleagues during a session at the National Assembly, Gabriel Attal spoke with Le Parisien to explain who was the faithful companion appearing on the shot in question. “In the hemicycle, during the motion of censure, my sisters sent me a photo of my dog in the garden. Spontaneously, I wanted to share this moment with the ministers next to me”confided Gabriel Attal in the columns of Parisian. It didn’t take long after the interview was published for Gabriel Attal to decide to introduce the French to his new dog. A few hours later, the Prime Minister took to his Instagram account to properly present Volta.

Gabriel Attal: “I had the project for a long time”
It is in a total casual look, in jeans and sneakers, that Gabriel Attal strikes a pose on the steps of Matignon alongside his faithful companion. “A Sunday with Volta! She was to remain my secret garden… A photo of my phone screen this week decided otherwise. I have always been passionate about animals. And I think that the way society regards them says a lot about who we are. As a deputy, then a minister, I have always been committed to animal welfare.”writes the Prime Minister in the caption of this publication Instagram.
At the feet of the tenant of Matignon, we can see Volta, a little black ball of the chow-chow breed which is already melting Internet users. As its name suggests, the little dog given to the youngest prime minister of the Fifth Republic to celebrate his appointment is a real electric battery. Let us hope, however, that it grants a little respite to the Prime Minister who already has to deal with a list of piling up files.

“And although I had been planning to adopt a dog for a long time, I had not yet taken the plunge. The weekend following my appointment at Matignon, my family told me, ‘We are sure that it ‘It’s time for you!’. Deep down, I was sure of it too, we just had to go. It’s the year of the ‘V’ and she has boundless energy. So she lives up to her name very well, Volta, in homage to the inventor of the electric battery”explains Gabriel Attal.
