French Prime Minister Michel Barnier and predecessor Gabriel Attal work to mend ties as crucial budget talks approach.

Prime Minister Michel Barnier acknowledges tensions with Gabriel Attal but emphasizes the need for cooperation within the government.
Barnier plans to propose significant budget cuts and tax increases to address France's financial challenges.
Gabriel Attal, now leading a key parliamentary group, has expressed support for Barnier's fiscal initiatives.
