OPINION: Remains of Macron's centrists still have the best chance of beating the far-right
"Gabriel Attal, at 37, is two years younger than Emmanuel Macron was when he was elected in 2017. He is almost an elder statesman compared to the current front-runner, 30-year-old Jordan Bardella of the Far Right Rassemblement National."
"Attal has gained ground by annoying his own friends in government by campaigning for bakeries and other small businesses to be supported, showcasing his focus on local economic issues."
Gabriel Attal, the youngest Prime Minister in the Fifth Republic, is the candidate for Renaissance in the 2027 French presidential election. Despite a tumultuous relationship with President Macron and a recent book accusing him of dishonesty, Attal remains a key figure. At 37, he is younger than Macron was when elected. He must surpass Edouard Philippe in opinion polls by February to avoid stepping aside. Recent polls show Attal at 14 percent and Philippe at 19 percent, indicating a competitive race.
