Editorial: Liberation

• There was a striking difference in Gabriel Attal's speech pace while addressing the end-of-life issue, a subject that will divide the French in the upcoming months.
• Attal's speech, different from his previous rapid-fire talk, showed a density missing until then.
• He focused on concrete measures such as pay rise for nurses, implementing access to healthcare services, among others and did not touch upon international or cultural matters.
• There was a glaring omission in his speech: financial concerns. He did not clarify the financial means to back up his action announcements.

Conclusion: With his focus on specifics of action, Gabriel Atall bypassed international subjects and also skipped discussing the required financial backing for his action measures leading to possible future dissatisfactions and demands.
