“I am not in amazement, I am in action”, assures Gabriel Attal. Remaining discreet in the first hours of the campaign, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal met Thursday morning on France Inter, then on the ground in Boulogne-sur-Mer, in a constituency in Pas-de-Calais where the National Rally had almost won in 2022.
“We are not going to spend the next 17 days reversing this decision”swept away Gabriel Attal, recalling the two arguments given by the president to justify the dissolution: a risk of blocking the National Assembly, “on the verge of asphyxiation, with increasingly strong tensions between the extreme right and the extreme left, which at one point threatened to prevent action and work” And “an electoral defeat with nearly 50% of French people choosing to vote for the extremes”.
The “far-right bloc” has “a staggeringly amateurish project of economic ruin”
“The French are faced with a social choice”, according to Gabriel Attal. He describes “three blocks: an extreme right bloc which thrives on division, the opposition of the French to each other, a project of economic ruin, of staggering amateurism; an extreme left project which also thrives on division, to the opposition of each other, to communitarianism, to a form of disorder; and then we a progressive, labor, democratic or republican bloc which proposes another path.”
Gabriel Attal then mentioned an article from Libération about a “far-right activist arrested for homophobic attack, son of one of the National Front executives and who declared at the time of his appearance ‘in three weeks we will be able to destroy the PD as we want'”. “This is what the perspective of the extreme right liberates, unfortunately, among certain fellow citizens, this is what the extreme right thrives on”underlined the Prime Minister. “I’ve always opposed this and I’m going to fight.”

Popular Front: “It makes me sad to see” the PS “again getting behind and moving forward with La France insoumise”
“I will fight with a direction, an identity that is mine” assures Gabriel Attal. “It makes me sad to see” the P.S. “once again get behind and move forward with La France insoumise”commented the Prime Minister. “It makes me sad to see the social democrats make an alliance with Philippe Poutou’s NPA,” he added.
“I campaigned for the Socialist Party” he recalled, “so yes, it makes me sad because to see those who invented secularism find themselves with those who thrive on communitarianism.” “It makes me sad to see those who were the defenders of Dreyfus with those who are being prosecuted for advocating terrorism because they refused to condemn what happened on October 7,” he continues, before add “but it corresponds to what we have seen in the hemicycle for two years”.
“I think of all those left-wing social democratic voters who don’t see themselves in this, who think another path is possible”even if Gabriel Attal concedes, “that they probably do not say to themselves that I am perfect, or that our deputies or our candidates are perfect, but who in any case find themselves more in a line of tolerance, which refuses division, which refuses to separate the French from each other, who refuses to fuel the sad passions that we can see developing in the country. “I trust these French people”he concludes.
“We have not succeeded in solving all the French problems”
After describing deep divisions in the country, the Prime Minister acknowledges: “we have a form of responsibility”. “We have not succeeded in resolving all the problems of the French. On a certain number of subjects, a certain number of anxieties which are existential, we have not succeeded in responding to them.”

Unemployment insurance: “A decree will be issued by July 1”
He assures that the unemployment insurance reform will be carried out well. “A decree will be issued by July 1 for this reform”, assures Gabriel Attal. If his party wins in these elections, the end-of-life bill will be put back in its immediate program.
“For us, at least, it’s clear. When you see the National Rally which has been saying for years that it will cancel the pension reform, that it will put retirement at 60 and there, at the turn of a sentence a few days before an election, Jordan Bardella finally says no. At least for us, it’s clear.underlined Gabriel Attal.
“The French know: we will not increase taxes, there is a reform of unemployment insurance, we want to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% by 2027, we want to continue to act for the progression of rights the French”he detailed, adding that“obviously we will start again” the end of life bill “if we have a majority to make it happen”.
