French PM Faces Backlash for Interrupting EU Candidate's Broadcast

Gabriel Attal's unexpected appearance during Valérie Hayer's debate sparks criticism of sexism and undermining his own party's campaign.

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal interrupted Valérie Hayer's radio debate, leading to accusations of 'mansplaining' and sexism.
Opposition figures from various parties condemned Attal's actions, calling them humiliating and macho.
Hayer's campaign has struggled, trailing significantly behind the far-right National Rally in the polls.
Attal's intervention is seen by some as a sign of dwindling confidence in Hayer's candidacy by the ruling party.
Despite the backlash, Hayer defended Attal, rejecting claims of sexism and expressing pride in his support.
