Overview

  • Renaissance will convene a thematic convention and submit the question to a vote of party members, with conclusions expected by autumn.
  • Attal promotes an "ethical" model that is tightly regulated, non‑lucrative and grounded in informed consent without direct financial transactions.
  • He is not tabling a parliamentary bill at this stage, signaling that any legalization could instead be incorporated into his 2027 platform.
  • The move crosses a line Emmanuel Macron set publicly, as the president has argued GPA is incompatible with women's dignity.
  • Attal frames the issue as one of natality and equality, noting many users abroad are heterosexual couples, while opponents warn of commodification.
