It is a declaration which caused quite a stir and which constitutes the first major oral speech for Gabriel Attal. Appointed Prime Minister on January 9 in place of Élisabeth Borne, the man who was until now Minister of National Education and Youth in Emmanuel Macron’s government had experienced a meteoric political rise in recent years. This Tuesday, the young Prime Minister is in front of the National Assembly for his general policy speech, but this initiative does not please everyone.
Left-wing groups tabled a motion of censure in the National Assembly on Tuesday, just before the start of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s general policy declaration, announced the president of the institution Yaël Braun-Pivet at the opening of the session. They criticize him for not requesting “vote of confidence” of the Assembly and they were hostile towards him during his speech. As we could see in the images broadcast by BFMTV, the Prime Minister, whose salary was revealed, made a point of recalling his age. “I was born in 1989, the year of the bicentenary of the Revolution”he says, before being scolded by certain deputies.
Gabriel Attal responds to deputies
Born in Clamart, in Hauts-de-Seine, Gabriel Attal is therefore a young Prime Minister of only 34 years old and this reminder agitated the National Assembly. So much so that the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, had to ask them to keep quiet. A funny little scene, but the one whose discreet mother Marie de Couriss, is the descendant of a line of nobles, was able to continue his speech despite everything. He also had a little sentence for the deputies who were a little too impetuous in the hemicycle. “You are the representatives of millions of French people even if I am not not convinced that the French expect you to cover your voice of your interlocutor”says the resident of the Matignon hotel.
Gabriel Attal addresses farmers
The new Prime Minister also returned to the anger of farmers in his speech. Gabriel Attal promises to be “unambiguously there”. “There must be a French agricultural exception”he says, much applauded by the majority.
The Prime Minister also wanted to greet his predecessors Élisabeth Borne, Jean Castex and Édouard Philippe thanks to whom “The results are in”.
