Gabriel Attal served as Prime Minister of France from January to September 2024, becoming modern France’s youngest head of government.
He is currently General Secretary of Renaissance, the principal centrist, pro-European party in President Emmanuel Macron’s political family, and leads the Renaissance group in the French National Assembly, where he represents the Hauts-de-Seine constituency.
A graduate of Sciences Po, Gabriel entered politics after early work in government and parliamentary affairs and was first elected to the National Assembly in 2017. He has held a sequence of senior ministerial positions, serving as Secretary of State for Youth, Government Spokesperson, Minister for Public Action and Accounts, and Minister of National Education and Youth.
During his tenure in national leadership, Gabriel has been closely associated with high-profile institutional questions of state capacity and republican norms. Most notably, he led the government during the period in which France adopted a constitutional amendment protecting the freedom to access abortion, and major education decisions framed around secularism in state schools.
