Overview
- Attal’s first book, “En homme libre,” which was published Thursday, lays out his life story and a vision for France as he edges toward a 2027 bid.
- He begins a tour of themed events with stops set for Lyon on April 28 to discuss schools, Bordeaux on May 5 for climate, and Strasbourg on May 20 for Europe and world affairs.
- He has not formally declared his candidacy, and his team is planning a large Paris meeting on May 30 that outlets describe as likely to launch the campaign.
- In the book and on Télématin, he says the 2024 National Assembly dissolution was kept from him and argues the episode shows how the presidency should be exercised differently.
- He aims to rally the political center as he squares off with already-declared rival Édouard Philippe, presenting priorities in education, health, ecology, and the economy.
