In a remarkable move, French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Stéphane Séjourné as the new foreign minister. Séjourné, 38, succeeds Catherine Colonna and is notably the former partner of France’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal.
Breaking Barriers in Leadership
This development follows Macron’s selection of Gabriel Attal, 34, as France’s youngest and first openly gay Prime Minister. Attal, a rising star in French politics, previously held the position of education minister and has been pivotal in Macron’s government since 2018.
Séjourné’s appointment symbolizes a progressive shift in French politics, emphasizing diversity and representation. Both Attal and Séjourné have been recognized for their contributions to French politics, with their personal histories adding a unique dimension to their leadership roles.
