France's prime minister, Gabriel Attal, finds himself in the midst of a high-stakes election following President Emmanuel Macron's decision to dissolve parliament and call for a legislative election. At just 35 years old, Attal became the youngest-ever prime minister of France when he was appointed by Macron in January.
Attal faces a formidable opponent in 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, the president of the far-right National Rally party. Bardella's ambition to lead the country marks a significant shift in French politics, potentially paving the way for the first far-right government since World War II.
