  • A spokesperson for France's outgoing government says President Emmanuel Macron is seeking a political deal that would allow him to both name a new prime minister and "guarantee the stability of the country.

French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Gabriel Attal as the new Prime Minister, making him the youngest person to hold the position at 34 years old. This move comes as part of a broader government reshuffle aimed at revitalizing Macron's administration ahead of the European Parliament elections. Attal, previously the Education Minister, replaces Elisabeth Borne, who resigned after serving for 20 months. His appointment is seen as an attempt to inject new energy into the government, especially in light of recent political challenges including immigration debates and the rise of the far-right. Attal, known for his communication skills and popularity, is expected to help Macron regain momentum and address key issues like education reform, economic policy, and environmental concerns.
