34-year-old Gabriel Attal is the new prime minister of France, replacing Elisabeth Borne. He is the youngest prime minister – 31 years old – that France has, who, however, has already taken on critical portfolios in Emmanuel Macron's government and was his most popular minister. "He owes everything to Macron," he said.
He became deputy minister of education, he was the government's press representative, deputy minister of public revenue, minister of education for six months. Now Prime Minister of France.
France's new prime minister left the Socialist Party in 2016 to support the presidential candidacy of then-economy minister Emmanuel Macron. After Macron's victory in 2017, the graduate of the famous Alsace School in Paris was elected MP in a right-wing fiefdom in the Hauts-de-Seine district, on the outskirts of Paris.
He has in some ways the same elements that Macron brought and many say that he is a "political imitation" of him. They were the president's inner circle when he filed for the presidency in 2017.
He comes from Paris, while his mother is of aristocratic descent. His father was a film producer and lawyer who passed away in 2015.
Gabriel rose to prominence when he defended himself against being bullied at school, accusing him of being gay.
Openly gay, he never wanted to talk about it until recently, when he also spoke about school bullying in general. He also spoke about anti-Semitism, because his father was Jewish by origin.
It is estimated that polls show him as the most popular, since he openly expresses that he is vulnerable, accepting some of his experiences.
