BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 9. France’s
President, Emmanuel Macron, has nominated a youthful politician,
Gabriel Attal, as Prime Minister.
Who’s Gabriel Attal?
Gabriel Attal was born on March 16, 1989, in Clamart. Attal, 34,
grew to become the youngest prime minister in French historical past.
In 2006, he joined the Socialist Occasion; later, in 2016, he
modified the social gathering to the ”Ahead!” (presently ”Renaissance”).
Whereas a Socialist Occasion member, Attal backed Segolene Royal’s
presidential bid in 2007. After becoming a member of the ”Ahead!” social gathering, he
backed Emmanuel Macron’s presidential marketing campaign in 2017.
Regardless of his youth, Attal has a wealth of expertise in a number of
roles contained in the French authorities. From October 16, 2018 to July
6, 2020, he served as Secretary of State to the Minister of
Nationwide Training and Youth. On July 6, 2020, he was named
Secretary of State to the Prime Minister and the French
authorities’s official consultant.
From Might 20, 2022 to July 20, 2023, Attal served as Minister
delegate for Public Accounts, reporting to the Minister of the
Financial system, Finance, Industrial, and Digital Sovereignty. Following
that, he was appointed Minister of Nationwide Training and Youth, a
place he held till his most up-to-date appointment.
Gabriel Attal’s companion is Stephane Sejournet, a French
politician and member of the European Parliament who leads the
present French president’s social gathering (the Renaissance).
Is it a coincidence that Macron picked the companion of his
social gathering’s chief as Prime Minister? Hardly, however this isn’t the
case.
Stephane Sejournet is an ardent Armenian supporter who advocates
for Armenian considerations in each France and the European Parliament.
For instance, he initiated a number of anti-Azerbaijani resolutions
handed by the European Parliament.
Stephane Sejourne is happy with his efforts to ”defend”
Armenians, about which he usually shares publications on his social
networks.
Lately, he referred to as on Europe to assist the Armenians: ”We
assist the Armenian folks. France can’t act alone. Europe should
play its position”.
The companion of recent French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s
advocacy for Armenian pursuits will undoubtedly have an effect on
the latter’s posture.
In different phrases, if anybody had hoped that altering the pinnacle of
authorities would lead to a shift in France’s present biased
posture towards Azerbaijan, that is merely a naive misbelief.
On this state of affairs, the ”hope” died first, relatively than final.
