Presidential Election 2027: after his proposal for a primary with vague outlines, Gabriel Attal targets the "center and the right"

Gabriel Attal's call for a "primary of democrats" has been interpreted by many as an admission of failure, as his presidential campaign struggles in polls. Despite a vigorous campaign, the former Prime Minister's candidacy is stagnating, prompting Attal to consider this new approach to maintain momentum. He distinguishes himself from advocates of a broader primary by suggesting it should focus on the central bloc, opposing current Republican leader Bruno Retailleau's participation. Attal's supporters have previously criticized Retailleau's conservative stance, indicating a lack of common ground between their parties.
