President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Gabriel Attal, the 34-year-old French education minister, as the country’s youngest-ever prime minister, making history in both age and LGBTQ representation.

Attal, a rising star in Macron’s Renaissance Party, previously enacted controversial policies as education minister and now faces the task of forming a new government and advancing the president’s agenda.

Attal emphasizes education, inflation, economic liberalization, and youth development as priorities, vowing to dedicate necessary resources for success.

He replaces Elisabeth Borne, whose 20-month tenure was marked by challenges, including unpopular retirement reforms and urban riots. As Macron seeks a political reset, Attal’s appointment is seen as a key move ahead of European elections and the Paris Olympics.
