Gabriel Attal, France's current Prime Minister, is making bold moves in the political arena.

On Friday, he officially announced his candidacy to lead the Macronist group in the National Assembly.

This strategic step comes as Attal prepares to transition from his role as Prime Minister, a position he's held for just a few months.

The 35-year-old politician's ambitions seem to be causing tension within President Emmanuel Macron's camp.

Macron reportedly expressed frustration over the 'disastrous spectacle' of premature ambitions within his party.

Despite this, Attal is set to become the president of the Renaissance group in the Assembly on Saturday, following a brief but public conflict with other party members.

These maneuvers are seen by many as Attal positioning himself for a potential presidential run in the future.
