French President Emmanuel Macron made the decision to retain Prime Minister Gabriel Attal in his position after the recent parliamentary elections. Despite the government’s political camp losing its status as the strongest party to the left in a hung parliament, Macron believes that keeping Attal in office is crucial for the country’s stability.
Attal had initially indicated his intention to resign, as is customary in French politics, but has expressed readiness to continue serving as a caretaker until further decisions are made. Ultimately, it was up to the president to determine Attal’s fate.
With the political landscape shifting in France, Macron’s decision to maintain continuity in leadership reflects a strategic move to uphold stability during this transitional period.
