Saturday March 9, while the head of the list Valérie Hayer has just given her first campaign speech in Lille (North), an executive sighs with relief.
“There were no missteps.
Attal was almost too good compared to her,” he slips hotly.
The Prime Minister, like François Bayrou or Édouard Philippe, has just preceded the candidate at the microphone.
Gabriel Attal chooses to strike like a deaf man against “the Le Pen clan”.
Not everyone in macronie was bowled over by the performance.
For some, there is a little something missing from this 35-year-old young man, who has multiplied since taking office at Matignon.
“He still has to check the big speech box.
His general policy declaration and Lille did not respond to that,” whispers a confidant of Emmanuel Macron.
“He must move from communication to action,” says a senior leader of the majority.
