Gabriel Attal Named France’s Youngest Prime Minister
By Alabidun Shuaib AbdulRahman
Gabriel Attal has been appointed as France’s youngest prime minister, at 34, replacing Élisabeth Borne, who resigned after facing challenges in parliament during her 20-month tenure, INCNews247 can report.
As the country gears up for crucial European Parliament elections in June, Attal, currently the education minister, faces the task of leading the government amidst President Macron’s efforts to rejuvenate his presidency.
Attal’s rapid rise, from an obscure health ministry adviser a decade ago to the first openly gay occupant of Hôtel Matignon, is noteworthy.

Inspired by Macron’s vision of breaking the old left-right political divide, Attal became a member of parliament after the 2017 election, showcasing brilliance as a debater and catching the president’s attention.
Despite his youthfulness, charm, and popularity, Attal’s success will be tested in navigating the challenges of Macron’s second term and countering the nationalist right’s growing influence.
By selecting Attal, Macron aims to strategically outmaneuver political rivals, drawing on his minister’s proven track record.
