Who is this?
Gabriel Nissim Attal de Couriss (French: [ɡabʁijɛl atal] ; born 16 March 1989) is a French politician who has served as the General Secretary of Renaissance since December 2024 and president of the Renaissance group in the National Assembly since September 2024. He previously served as the prime minister of France from January to September 2024. He was the youngest and the first openly gay prime minister in French history. He previously served in various ministerial positions. Following his election to the National Assembly in the 2017 French legislative election, Attal became the junior minister to the minister of national education and youth in 2018, which made him the youngest person to serve in the Government of France since the establishment of the Fifth Republic. He later served as the spokesperson of the government in 2020; the minister of public action and accounts in 2022; and the minister of national education and youth in 2023. On 9 January 2024, amid a major government crisis, Attal was appointed to replace Élisabeth Borne as the prime minister by French president Emmanuel Macron, at age 34. Attal led the ruling Ensemble coalition into the legislative election in June 2024 after Macron dissolved the National Assembly following the defeat in the earlier European Parliament election. The snap election resulted in another hung parliament and electoral defeat for the government. Attal resigned as prime minister in July and remained as head of a caretaker government until Michel Barnier succeeded him on 5 September 2024.
