In the 10th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine, many voters do not know the Prime Minister’s socialist rival. Gabriel Attal came out on top in the first round. Do his name and his vote favor him? His opponent, Cécile Soubelet, wants to believe not. She tells us: “I really feel like David versus Goliath, because in fact, I take the metro, I do my shopping. People see that I am like them. I also know the issues of the constituency particularly well.”
“Totally fed up”

Minister and candidate, for him, it is an argument: “I have always been there for the schools, for the students, for the start of the school year, to also allow them to visit the different ministries that I have occupied, I have intervened in important files on security, on employment in my constituency”.
