Barely a candidate for the presidential election and already in the campaign. “If I decided to be a candidate for the presidential election, it is for hope, it is for the future, it is for optimism! This decision is the fruit of a long personal (â€¦) and political journey,” declared Gabriel Attal, on the occasion of his first meeting, Saturday May 30 in Paris, under the “At least president!” of his supporters.
