Gabriel Attal holds first rally in Paris, launching 2027 presidential election campaign

Paris – May 30, 2026: Gabriel Attal, former Prime Minister and candidate for the 2027 presidential election, held his first large campaign rally on May 30, 2026, at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Park in Paris. About 5,000 people listened to his speech, in which he clearly expressed his political goals and his vision for the future of France.

Attal only announced his candidacy on May 22, 2026, and now took the opportunity of this first rally to spread his message nationwide. He called for a “rise” on both individual and collective levels. “Everyone in France should feel the hope that the next generation can live a better life,” he emphasized. He particularly focused on creating prospects for families.

His campaign platform focuses on four key areas: education, wages, border security, and artificial intelligence. These priorities will help make France a leader in Europe again. Attal plans to create new opportunities through investment in education, raise wage levels, strengthen national security, and equip France with future-oriented technological competitiveness.

In his speech, the candidate clearly distanced himself from policies he sees as simply managing decline. Instead, he emphasized optimism and actively shaping the future: “France is a great nation and should never doubt its future.”

In the coming months, the campaign will accelerate. Attal has already positioned himself in competition with other candidates, including Édouard Philippe from the Horizons party and Jean-Luc Mélenchon from La France Insoumise, who are also running for president.

With his first rally in Paris, Attal officially launched his campaign, aiming to shape an image of a credible and forward-looking candidate. The upcoming months will test how his proposals are received by voters and his role in the race for the highest national office.

Beyond political competitors, party support is also an important factor in Attal’s campaign, as his party Renaissance could have a significant impact on the election results. Additionally, social issues such as social justice, immigration, and technological innovation will take center stage in debates about the future direction of France heading into 2027.

Gabriel Attal hopes to inspire new momentum for the campaign through this appearance, particularly attracting young voters and those who believe in positive change. His campaign aims to bring hope and distinctly differentiate itself from previous political paths.
