French President Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal on Tuesday, the presidential office said, adding that Attal will lead a caretaker government with restricted powers until a new government is named. The leftist New Popular Front alliance has still not managed to name a consensus candidate for prime minister after snap legislative elections earlier this month.
French centrist Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government resigned on Tuesday but will stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is appointed following legislative elections in which no political bloc won an absolute majority.
