Michel Barnier, aged 73, is a prominent figure in European politics. He served as the European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator and is known for his affiliation with the right-wing Republican party.
On the other hand, Gabriel Attal, a 35-year-old rising star from the centrist Renaissance party, made headlines recently. He resigned shortly after the July 8 election, which saw the left-wing coalition New Popular Front securing the most seats in the parliament.
Despite their differences in age and political beliefs, both Barnier and Attal play significant roles in shaping the future of European politics.
