Gabriel Attal, a prominent figure in French politics known as the Renaissance presidential candidate, unveiled his campaign team and program leadership on Monday. Approximately twenty deputies are part of his campaign, including Agnès Pannier-Runacher and Paul Midy, who have been appointed as co-chiefs of the presidential program. Attal emphasized his desire to pursue "profound changes, not just minor technical adjustments," encouraging his team to "have no fear" and to "not exclude an idea simply because it has never been implemented or discussed before."
Nineteen deputies have been designated as "thematic ambassadors," each responsible for specific areas such as housing, civil security, culture, education, liberal professions, entrepreneurship, regalian matters, justice, ecological transformation, energy, natural ecosystems, Europe and international affairs, defense, mental health, medicine, old age, video games, sports, and gender equality. Some of these deputies will work alongside individuals from civil society, as Attal stated that "a program is not built by four high-ranking officials around a table."
At the beginning of September, three members of the Ensemble pour la République group in the National Assembly, led by Attal, were announced as part of the candidate's inner circle. Franck Riester was named to co-direct the campaign, Prisca Thévenot to direct mobilization and territories, and Violette Spillebout as one of the five spokespeople. In total, 24 deputies are visible in his campaign team, out of a group of 90 elected officials in the National Assembly, including the candidate himself.
Attal confirmed that he had no intention of stepping down from his role as group leader at the Palais-Bourbon despite the campaign. He acknowledged that he "would be present as much as possible" in the hemicycle, the chamber where the National Assembly meets, but would "rely heavily on the vice-presidents" of his group. These vice-presidents, including Annaïg Le Meur, Céline Calvez, Paul Midy, Pierre Cazeneuve, and Julie Delpech, are also part of the campaign team.
