Gabriel Attal at 20 p.m. on TF1 on Wednesday

“The day after the publication of the latest INSEE figures, the Prime Minister will be questioned in particular on the question of the deficit,” TF1 said in a press release.

“He will also reveal the latest government decisions on labor and will speak on several current issues,” added the channel.

INSEE revealed on Tuesday a budget deficit equivalent to 5,5% of GDP in 2023, i.e. 0,7 points more than the previous year, and 0,6 points more than initially forecast by the government.

The government warned in early March that the deficit would be "significantly" higher than its forecast of 4,9% of GDP.

Mr. Attal must respond "live to questions from Gilles Bouleau accompanied by Marie Chantrait, François Lenglet and Adrien Gindre", specified TF1.

The same day in the morning, the head of government must convene a government seminar in Matignon devoted to work, one of the major themes of his policy, with the ministers concerned.

With a possible reform of unemployment insurance on the menu, while social spending is in the executive's sights to reduce the deficit, as well as the 4-day week, still in an experimental state.
