France's centrist ex-PM Gabriel Attal, 37, says running for president

France's former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said on Friday that he was running for president next year, becoming the second prominent centrist to challenge the far right when Emmanuel Macron steps down.

"I have decided to run for president," said the 37-year-old, who was the youngest prime minister in French history when he served in 2024.

"I can't take this kind of French politics anymore, where it's just 50 shades of managing decline."
