Macron Accepts PM Attal's Resignation, Keeps Him as Caretaker
TL;DR
French President Emmanuel Macron has accepted Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's resignation but asked him to stay on in a caretaker role until a new government is formed. This follows the defeat of Macron's centrist alliance by the New Popular Front in recent snap parliamentary elections, leaving the National Assembly without a dominant political bloc. The caretaker government will manage day-to-day affairs and ensure the smooth running of the upcoming Olympic Games but cannot introduce new laws or make major changes.
