Au lendemain de l'annonce de la composition du premier gouvernement de Gabriel Attal, Stéphan Rossignol estime que sa famille politique devra travailler avec les nouveaux ministres.

The evening before, when the Elysée unveiled the composition of the government, it sent its best wishes to its population. This Friday, January 12 in the morning, Stéphan Rossignol was able to focus on this new executive, the first of the Gabriel Attal era.

"It's clearly a right-wing government", analyzes the president of the Les Républicains party in Hérault. And he details: "There are 14 ministers, including 8 from my political family. The most important ministries are occupied by right-wing personalities: Gérald Darmanin, Sébastien Lecornu, Bruno Le Maire, Christophe Béchu and Catherine Vautrin whom I know well, since we began our political paths at the same time at the RPR". A real “turn to the right”, personalized by “the surprise Rachida Dati, who chaired the national council of the Republicans just yesterday”, he adds.

Let's give Gabriel Attal a chance and vote on bills that go in the right direction in the interest of the country

The mayor of La Grande-Motte therefore calls on his people to be "pragmatic". "We cannot, on the one hand, reproach Emmanuel Macron for a certain number of behaviors by saying that he has a left-wing action and, at the moment when he gives a signal of s’ turn to the right and fall on him. The French are fed up with political games. Let's give Gabriel Attal a chance and vote for bills that go in the right direction in the country's interest, suggests Stéphan Rossignol.
