Emmanuel Macron accepts the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, after the parliamentary defeat
French President Emmanuel Macron has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government team, after the electoral defeat of the party in the Parliament, writes Le Monde.
Macron said the current cabinet would remain in office, with limited powers, for "a few weeks", probably until the end of the Olympic Games to be hosted by Paris.
The leftist New Popular Front alliance, which won early parliamentary elections but lacks an absolute majority, failed to find a candidate for prime minister.
