Guillaume Herblot praised the intervention of Louise Montangon, whom he introduced as the head of UNI Bordeaux, in front of Gabriel Attal. According to him, the 20-year-old student had confronted the former Prime Minister about his record in the National Education system, particularly mentioning the PISA results, the level in French and mathematics, the teachers, and the cuts planned in the 2024 Finance Bill. Herblot wrote that she had insisted on these issues despite attempts to divert attention and believed that thousands of young people shared her criticisms. He summarized her performance as a demonstration of clarity rather than a clash and described her intervention as a "masterclass." #Éducation #Politique #Masterclass (translated)
