In the end, it is perhaps almost a brief respite for him in a very busy current situation. While the mobilization of farmers is not weakening, far from it, Gabriel Attal must present the “road map and the government’s priorities” in his general policy speech this Tuesday, January 30 to the National Assembly. The question of the anger of the agricultural world and the new responses that the executive intends to provide will obviously be addressed, even if no specific announcements are planned. But the new Prime Minister must also present his program for the middle classes and discuss the ecological transition, in a speech which should last a little less than an hour.
Pending the appointment of delegate ministers and state secretaries
The Prime Minister will speak to an incomplete government, reduced to 14 members, while awaiting the appointment of delegate ministers and secretaries of state, planned for this week. On Wednesday, he will go to the Senate to deliver a dedicated speech.
No vote of confidence after the speech
Like his predecessor Elisabeth Borne, Gabriel Attal will not seek a vote of confidence from deputies following his speech. The left has nevertheless already promised that it will table the first motion of censure in the new government. This should nevertheless not be adopted without the votes of the right or the far right, who abstained in July 2022 for the first unsuccessful motion of censure filed against Elisabeth Borne.
