Edouard Philippe and Gabriel Attal, mired in a laborious presidential campaign, are trying to avert their erasure

In the context of the presidential campaign, Gabriel Attal and Edouard Philippe struggle to find common ground amid the ongoing crisis stemming from student protests. Both express frustration with the government's handling of the situation, feeling that it hampers their political standing. The rise of opposition parties like the National Rally and La France Insoumise complicates their positions, forcing them to reassess their alignment with President Macron's legacy. The social crisis has weakened their influence, bringing Macron back into the spotlight, which they seek to navigate carefully.
