Gabriel Attal has been named France's next prime minister, as Emmanuel Macron aims to revive his presidency with a new government.
At 34, he is the youngest PM in modern French history, outranking even Socialist Laurent Fabius who was 37 when he was appointed by François Mitterrand in 1984.
Mr Attal replaces Élisabeth Borne, who resigned after 20 months in office.
Throughout that time she struggled with a lack of a majority in parliament.

Meanwhile in America, we're trying to break records for oldest people in power.
😂😂😂seems the older American leaders are, the more insane the country becomes...
Often older people are better as they have far more life experience but then they can be overly influenced by that experience. Getting the balance is the key.
@@LimerickWarrior1nah we need new mindsets not the old ones. Look what happens to Russia
@@LimerickWarrior1nah, the world has changed far too much since the 1950s. Old people don't have what it takes to lead in a technologically-driven world
@@ForceInEvHorizon putin is relatively young though.
Please stop calling him a kid. He's a 34 years old man. It's time to give the younger generation a chance and power. We have seen all around the world what one foot in the grave PM's of Presidents did. Age doesn't make you wiser. Commons sense does
Thank you for saying this...
But he's just a pawn to the old generation, like Macron. That's why the ministers he "chose" are all from the right wing and some of them already served under Sarkozy
34 years old and he was just a government spokesman and briefly education minister, he doesn't have much experience to be the prime minister of the "5th world power". There is a middle ground between Attal and senile drooling U.S. Senators. Most prime ministers are 45-65 years old.
I do appreciate people calling this man a kid. Makes me feel young again 😂
You're a politician ?
Guy just unfortunately has a baby face

If you are millionaires or politician at you 30's you're not only young you're a baby😅
Gabriel Attal has been in government for many years, and he has been my minister for a few months, but I had to listen to the BBC to learn that he was openly gay. It was definitely not a topic today amongst my colleagues, and I'm surprised it comes up in a foreign country. We would rather talk about his policies and his ability to lead the country.
I’m an expat and watch BFM everyday. Same here. Never knew he was gay until I heard it on the BBC. I ask myself the point is? The more I watch UK news from here in France the more I laugh at how pathetic it is, not to mention the censorship.
@@garytebbenham6843 That likely has more to do with your own insecurities than anything else. Also not entirely sure why you think noting that someone is gay is somehow a bad thing when it's of interest. Seems worth noting, simply because he's the first openly gay person in the position, just as his age is noteworthy (though you don't seem to have a problem with this piece highlighting that, even though it's largely as irrelevant as sexuality). I'm guessing you're probably anti-woke brigade, but on the off-chance you're not I don't really see why you think it's a problem, especially given that the majority of this piece was regarding his history in government and relationship to the president.
@@mrjoe5292 we do not speak about this kind of things in france, because the problem is maybe noting this kind of things
@@mrjoe5292 Well as a gay leftist, I can tell you I'm absolutely not proud of a miserable politician like Gabriel Attal to be the first openly gay prime minister.
@@mrjoe5292 yes, you nailed it. I’m very insecure 😄👍🏻. Seriously, he’s not the first gay politician here in France and it may surprise you to know that some are even from the FN. As someone has said the problem is noting these kind of things as it’s no big deal. It’s 2024 for gods sake.
Age shouldnt be the focus just like gender and race. It should all come down to whether you are capable or not.
dont be silly, this is the west
It's ma'am!
A 24 year old, whole really only consciously was aware for 19 of those years, bright as he may be, doesn’t inspire confidence in me. Lived experience, wisdom, life skills, can’t be learned. Hopefully he’s wise enough to have older folks around him for guidance.
"Macron loyalist and openly gay" That says it all.
I’m sure a lot of Americans disagree on this topic! They’d wish their president was in their 30s!
You know you’re getting old when a PM is younger than you.
😂😂😂
It’s depressing that he’s my age. I need to get my life together.
well if you start in 20 years you can still be the youngest member of the US Senate

And Attal is not a kid, he is not a child he is a man of 34 years and please stop talking about him as if he has just been born. He is a MATURE man who can help Macron succeed with possible difficulties ahead.
He's a rich kid. He wasn't even to public school. As a gay frenchman, I'm not that excited
So macron still running the show, is this a french lizz truss?
Exactly. I wonder if the people complaining that he's a child are over 60 years or something. In no way is a 34 year old man a child to me. Young, sure, but a kid? Stop babying fully grown men.
He is gay and can help macron a lottttt
@@anandam1 why does it matter that he's gay?
For the people saying he's too young, I personally think it could be a good thing. Age kind of does matter in the sense that a younger MP would align well with the ideologies of the younger generation, which is very powerful and necessary for an effective future of a society. I can speak from experience because my country is run by MPs who are almost all older than 50 years of age. Their views are hardly aligned with the younger generation and they think in a very old fashioned sense. It just doesn't do. This is why I think when young people come into power, like when JFK did, they are immensely popular for obvious reasons.
He should change his name. Because Il or El means Allah ﷻ similar to how God means Allah ﷻ. And Jabra, Mika and Saraf mean servant or slave. Thus the filologists said that Jibreel (Gabriel), Mika'eel (Michael) Israfeel (Sarafeel) literally mean 'Abdullah (slave of Allah ﷻ). So it is not befitting that such a person has such a noble name. 'Ikrimah رحمه الله said: جَبْرَ، وَمِيكَ، وَسَرَافِ عَبْدٌ. إِيلْ اللَّهُ. "Each of the words: Jabra, and Mika, Saraaf means slave, and (the word) Il (El) means Allah." [Sahih al-Bukhari » Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an » The Header of the Chapter (6) "Whoever is an enemy to Jibril (Gabriel)..." (V.2:97)]
He is of the juice and alphabet folks. Not a good combo. Such should'nt be allowed in public let alone hold public office. He is the one who proposed the 'Abaya ban.
did you watch his "speech"? Gave out Brezhnev's vibes of senile man unable to come up with his own words so directly reading from the paper that he was provided.
Under our authority those two and licentious women will never hold position of authority. Only in these weird times of printing usury and pushing buttons in the battlefield were those three given respite, as they are going unchecked due to the ability of hiding with by pushing buttons in warfare in order for mankind to see the corruption that would spread on earth when those not fit to rule assume authority. Normality of righteous men ruling will return, so do not grieve.
@@dimas3829 Pushing buttons in warfare and printing dollars gave those not fit to rule respite as they can go unchecked without having to face Muslim men in battle face to face.

Headscarves in public schools have been banned since forever in France. Abayas are something else, that nobody wore until recently (just like the headscarves before 1989), and was another way of bringing religion to schools, hence the ban. Same for boys wearing the qamis.
What if the headscarf is non religious...?
Well, that's a perfectly fair question, but when it comes to the Islamic faith, it is a religious garment

I've been watching french and belgian news for 2 days announcing him as the youngest french prime minister, but it took me 35 seconds into BBC news, to learn about his sexuality.
Unlike in Britain and Germany, the prime minister in France is the president‘s bell boy. He can’t fail. As long as he follows the president‘s megalomaniac ideas.
Straight from Emily in Paris to PM....here is Gabriel
When they are old it s not good, when they are young it not good again. People will complain no matter what
My pic as well !
0:17 um I think there is a mistake here… considering… to whom he’s married? Also why would that be newsworthy to point out anyway?
Honestly, wether someone is gay or not is less important in a position like his. Competancy is what matters. I do not care about France, but for France itself I hope the best for her
I'm gay and I don't care. He is hot so he gets my vote.
For her🤣

in what position is it important thenl lmfao? what do you mean less important in a position like this?

Thanks for this comment ! I'm glad to notice some people are not blinded by illusion
What a disappointment.
I'm suprised to hear on various foreign media that he is gay ! Nobody mentions this over here. We don't care. It's his private life. We'll see how he handles things.. He has been Minister of Education for the last five months and has accomplished major positive changes already.
I've lived in Paris during his entire rise to prominence and can't remember his sexuality being talked about. I learned it from the BBC, LOL. The anglo media is so sexually obsessed.
@@lours6993 yes, no one ever talked about it. It was not an essential information. Perhaps because of our laws, focusing or criticizing this way of life is an offense considered as homophobia!
i don't understand why the french get offended when his sexuality is mentioned.......
@@janejustin1788 You’re misunderstanding: we don’t get offended. We just don’t understand the English speaking world’s fixation on it - They are the ONLY ones who feel the need to talk about it, when it is not even a topic of discussion here. It is about your culture.
@@janejustin1788 they are not offended, it's just not worth pointing it out in the foreign press. It's considered as discriminatory to talk about it in a negative way.
I'm excited and can't wait to see how he would change France.. A young PM😎.. He'd adapt to the current generation Z pretty well. With a technology advancing world. I'm curious how he would bring about changes for his country. Personally i think it's very good that a young person gets to be PM in today's world
He chose the most transphobic and homophobic government of Macron's presidency (most of them voted against equal marriage, some of them even against the ban of torture on LGBT+ people) despite being openly gay himself, is openly racist, and reintroduced the uniform in schools (200 euros per child for the families to pay, this during an economic crisis). How is he going to adapt to Gen Z if he support conservatist ideals ?
I guess... They have nothing to worry about.... 🙂 😎 Attal. *YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH*

@@idreamtiwasbackatmanderley414 All presidents have far more power than the Prime Minister, it's just that practice has kept the President out of all important decisions.
In the UK our monarch is kind of like our President, in terms of being the head of state (even though the monarchy doesn't really do much)
@@astronotics531 Not true. Some countries like UK and Scandi/Nordic monarchies don't even have a president - the Prime Minister is the head of government while the Monarch is head of state with very little power. And Germany's Chancellor (Head of Government) has more power than its President (Head of State). Also in India, the Prime Minister is the head of government while the President is head of state, basically a ceremonial role like the monarchy in UK.
Excellent 😤. What next, that is what matters. Time would tell what he is about.

No
No and I'm 24

So all you know about him is his age and sexual orientation😅 thanks I guess
I live in Paris, have listed to Gabriel Attal for years in the media and only heard he was gay from the British and American media. What is you obsession with sexuality? No-one here has mentioned it that I have heard.
Our media is a right mess when it comes to 'buzzwords'. British media has gone full 'woke' imo
French Gabriel Attal and British Rishi Sunak will do BBC action in the future? 🤔
I think you mean youngest puppet.
It seems Macron prefers old women and young men.
hahaha
What can I say, he’s truly a man of refined taste
At least he prefers young men unlike Putin's, fetish of killing children.
When we want to call someone getting things via connections instead of merit we call them "pistonné" (in French) Thats the word that can define this man. A privilegied rich kid that was "pistonné" from childhood to minister he was "pistonné" into the most selective school by his parents, "pistonné" into political position by his friends and "pistonné" into the education ministry via Macron. He never did a good job, never had to truly work a day in his life and he's now "pistonné" into prime minister despite being terrible at his previous job. now for the fun part, he's also gay so that means he also got "piston'd" in every sence of the word.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible how a population representing 1% of the nation has elected two leaders belonging to their group.
??
Sad right
First of all he has not been elected by anyone but chosen by the president. And second of all, basically no one in France knows about his sexuality. News channels didn't cover this matter, mainly because it literally doesn't matter for the role he's given and because it's not something he wants to talk about.
Best comment, and no one is saying anything about that! This is a worry!!
It may not be of relevance to his job, but the fact that a gay man could be elected to such high office shows have far France has progressed on such issues. It may be easy to say that it doesn't matter in 2023, but it did matter for a very long time and that's why he's the first one. So yes, it is important actually.
thats not progress
Well in France we don't even know he's gay tbh. Many of us learned that by watching foreign news about him.
Handpicked by Macron. Yeah... that's democratic.
34 year old kid to be PM.. . How confident France is with her children! The great minds are only living in the great countries.
