Three weeks after his appointment as Prime Minister, it was this Tuesday afternoon that Gabriel Attal delivered his general policy speech to deputies. A speech during which he revealed his course and his priority projects. If the majority welcomed this speech, the oppositions on the right and the left are unanimous in criticizing the “Attal method”. Reactions in the National Assembly.

Unsurprisingly, the Renaissance deputies are the only ones to welcome the Prime Minister’s intervention in the hemicycle. For Mathieu Lefèvre, Gabriel Attal’s response was up to the challenge: “ It’s moving. There were quite a few concrete announcements. Those who thought they would have a long speech, fancy words and publicity are in for a loss. There is undoubtedly a momentum, a desire for the months to come, to unlock France. There is clearly an Attal method. »
On the side of the National Rally (RN), we take nothing positive from the Prime Minister’s speech. Jean-Philippe Tanguy: “ The only positive thing that I remember is that we no longer have to put up with Ms. Borne who was an odious and sectarian person and therefore, here, we have a Prime Minister who is undoubtedly more open to dialogue, but who does not how to apply Mr. Macron’s roadmap “.
On the right, same story. Olivier Marleix, president of the Les Républicains group in the Assembly, criticizes the lack of vision and clear direction: “We witnessed a general policy speech once again which resembled a catalog, a kind of large catch-all , from the La Redoute catalog, promises that will never be kept. I still haven’t understood what Mr. Macron’s vision was, what his project was for the country. I have the feeling that the Prime Minister is discovering a certain number of subjects after seven years in power. »
On the left too, we only remember the right-wing drift of the Prime Minister. Alexis Corbière, LFI deputy: “ Why change Prime Minister? And a minister so young for a speech so old, so conservative, so reactive “.
The Prime Minister did not seek a vote of confidence following his speech. But the left-wing deputies have already announced the tabling of a motion of censure.
