Gabriel Attal, leader of the Renaissance party, has launched his 2027 presidential campaign with immigration as its central theme, calling for France to admit fewer people overall while prioritising those arriving to work, RFI English reported.
The announcement has exposed a split within the broader Macron political camp over strategy and positioning ahead of the presidential election. Attal did not specify numerical admission targets in the RFI summary.
The move represents a significant hardening of tone from a figure closely associated with the outgoing Macron government. France's 2027 presidential race is now formally under way with at least one declared candidate from the centrist bloc.
