The action plan includes a 'contract of rights and obligations' for parents, extended school hours in priority areas, and sanctions tied to school diplomas for misbehavior.
Attal proposes classifying assaults based on religious non-compliance as an aggravating circumstance in criminal offenses.
He pledges to strengthen law enforcement and enforce stricter measures for juvenile offenders.
The Prime Minister discusses salary increases and unemployment insurance reforms, with a promise to avoid tax hikes.
Attal emphasizes free speech and critiques opposition parties' lack of focus on European issues ahead of important European elections.
