Gabriel Attal outlines his proposals for the 2027 presidential election
On October 27, 2026, Gabriel Attal stays the course for the 2027 presidential election despite a loss of momentum, with a trip to Brittany and remarks on artificial intelligence. He then advocates for the "United States of Europe", and on October 28 presents his vision for the French economy, focused on innovation and planning. He also calls for European digital sovereignty, arguing that France relies too heavily on American messaging apps, software, and payment systems. The same day, he proposes a "grand primary of democrats" and reaches out to candidates refusing a runoff between LFI and the RN. Bruno Retailleau describes this primary as "fanciful and ridiculous", while Patrick Vignal, Attal's political adviser, says "we cannot do it alone".
