France’s Youngest PM Attal to Run for President Gabriel Attal's decision to run for president has sent shockwaves through the French political establishment.
At 37, he is already a veteran of high office, having served as prime minister at an age when most politicians are still making their mark on local councils. Attal's entry into politics was swift and decisive.
He became France's youngest ever prime minister at 34, drawing inevitable comparisons with Emmanuel Macron, who won the Elysee Palace in 2017 at a relatively young age.
