With President Emmanuel Macron unable to seek a third consecutive term in 2027, Attal launched his campaign after distancing himself from the president's 2024 parliamentary dissolution.
The Renaissance party leader faces competition from 55-year-old Edouard Philippe, who leads the Horizons party and announced his presidential bid in September 2024.
Attal criticized current French politics as "managing decline," pledging to uplift individuals so "everyone in France can say to themselves that their children, their grandchildren will have a better life."
Opinion polls suggest Philippe could win a potential runoff against the far-right Rassemblement National, positioning the centrist camp as a counterweight to the party's 2027 advance.
The leader of the liberal renaissance party is considered to be the younger version of President Macron. However, he now distances himself from Macron and openly criticizes his decisions.
