Gabriel Attal: Ambitious and Energetic New French Prime Minister

Gabriel Attal, 34, replaces Élisabeth Borne as the Prime Minister of France, known for his energy and communication skills.

According to a report by Le Figaro on January 9th, Gabriel Attal, 34, has replaced Élisabeth Borne as the Prime Minister of France.

After serving as Minister of Education for only five months, he made the decision to transfer to the position of Prime Minister. His energy, ambition, and communication skills, for which he received acclaim from the majority of his colleagues, have helped him navigate his way in this new challenge.

However, despite his energetic demeanor when facing numerous challenges, he also has his own habits to cope with stress. According to the FEJARO Times, he is described as an "anxious young man" who frequently indulges in consuming zero-calorie cola during his breaks from using e-cigarettes.

This is one commonality he shares with former Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne: Borne had faced criticism from the opposition party multiple times for incessantly smoking an e-cigarette in the National Assembly, despite the existence of relevant bans.
