He praised Attal’s ability to shape the future and give people hope. Midy highlighted that Attal was the candidate who made the most progress and presented a project that restored hope to the citizens. He insisted that Attal carried an optimistic and positive program aimed at a radical transformation. Midy praised Attal’s ability to build the future and inspire hope. Gabriel Attal, former Prime Minister and current General Secretary of the Renaissance party, officially announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election on May 22, 2026. In his statement, he emphasized his ambition to restore France’s role as a major European power, but without “blood and tears.” On the same day, he announced a large campaign meeting on May 30, 2026, at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris. During this first major rally, Attal presented his “French promise” and his “capacity for action.” He stressed that he leaves “blood and tears to others” and instead promised “action and hope.” Attal outlined his four “priority projects”: education, wages, borders, and artificial intelligence. He criticized the “pessimism” and “inertia” that he believes are spread by many political leaders. In recent weeks, Attal has received support from various actors. On May 17, 2026, 500 local elected officials signed a call urging him to run in the presidential election, highlighting his ability to act and shape the future. However, a recently published poll pointed out that if Attal and Édouard Philippe ran simultaneously, the central bloc might be eliminated in the first round. The poll suggested that in this scenario, Jean-Luc Mélenchon could face Marine Le Pen or Jordan Bardella in the second round. The political landscape therefore remains very dynamic as the 2027 presidential election approaches and the dynamics within the central bloc continue to evolve.
