For his hundredth day in Matignon, Gabriel Attal will deliver a “speech on authority at the heart of the Republic” on Thursday in the bereaved town of Viry-Châtillon (Essonne), before defending all of his actions as Prime Minister during an evening interview on BFMTV.M. Attal will speak at 11:00 a.m. from the square in front of the town hall of Viry-Châtillon, this town in Essonne recently marked by the death of Shemseddine, 15, beaten near his college. In this case, four young men, three minors and one adult, were indicted for murder. They were all placed in pre-trial detention.Mr. Attal, who will be accompanied by Ministers Nicole Belloubet (Education) and Éric Dupond-Moretti (Justice), Minister Delegate Sarah El Haïry (Childhood, Youth, Families) and Secretary of State Sabrina Agresti-Roubache (City and Citizenship ), will previously discuss with the teams and beneficiaries of the MJC de Viry, according to Matignon. Thursday morning, the Prime Minister reaffirmed his “total” determination in a video published on the social network X (formerly Twitter). “In a context where there are difficulties, where there are French people who doubt, who suffer, who are worried, we manage to talk to each other,” assured the head of government. “Everything cannot be resolved in one day,” he nevertheless warned. The mayor of Viry-Châtillon, Jean-Marie Villain (Les Centristes) said on RTL that he was “happy that the Prime Minister is coming exchange with young teenagers and presidents of associations.” A little more than three months after his appointment, the former Minister of Education intends to follow his general policy declaration. He then returned to the urban riots of rare violence which had set cities and neighborhoods ablaze at the beginning of summer 2023. While “the violence of last July deeply marked our country”, with among the rioters ” young people, very young sometimes, who seemed to have already cut ties with our society”, “we must enforce authority everywhere”, he explained on January 30 in front of the National Assembly. Before launching his famous “you break, you repair, you dirty, you clean, you challenge authority, we teach you to respect it.” On Wednesday, Emmanuel Macron asked his government to launch a consultation to find solutions to the “emergence of ultraviolence”, particularly among the youngest, with the objective of arriving at a bill before the summer. The trip to Viry-Châtillon will include a judicial component and another on “the role of school”, in particular with the question of boarding schools, we learned from a government Source. Mr. Attal should also visit a boarding school on Monday in Nice. “The French have no use for yet another consultation,” reacted Marine Le Pen on X. “We need action,” continued the President of the Senate. Gérard Larcher on Europe1/Cnews.-“Difficult and radical” decisions-“The search for results is my compass, my obsession”, certified Gabriel Attal Thursday morning during a conference in Paris, organized by the associative group SOS.”We get involved in politics to seek to improve lives, to ensure that the French live better and find solutions”, he continued. Thursday evening, the Prime Minister will then be interviewed at length on BFMTV , always to mark his 100 days at the head of the government. Called to succeed Élisabeth Borne on January 9, the youngest head of government of the Fifth Republic has already experienced several trials in Matignon, starting with the farmers’ crisis, which is not yet completely resolved. The deterioration of the budgetary situation, with a first round of ten billion euros in savings and an exercise to be repeated before the summer, also promises to tense the political debate. The right is threatening the government with a motion of censure on this issue of public finances. Gabriel Attal nevertheless intends to continue his reform projects, in particular planning to once again tighten the conditions for unemployment compensation. In this context, and unless two months before the European elections (June 9), the list of the presidential camp led by Valérie Hayer continues to be left behind in the polls by the far right.bpa-dga/jmt
