Gabriel Attal, France’s former prime minister and Renaissance party leader, has been targeted by “foreign interference originating in Russia”, in the latest in a series of Kremlin‑linked operations aimed at destabilising the 2027 presidential election.
Attal’s entourage told French press agency AFP on Wednesday that the SGDSN, France’s national defence and security secretariat, had alerted them to interference “linked to organs of the Russian central authorities”.
