French President Retains PM as Caretaker After Resignation

French President Emmanuel Macron accepted Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's resignation but retained him as head of a caretaker government amid political instability following recent parliamentary elections. The caretaker government will manage day-to-day affairs until a new government is appointed. The National Assembly is divided among three major political groups, complicating the formation of a new government. The leftist coalition is internally conflicted over selecting a new prime minister, while the far-right criticizes Macron's decision to keep Attal.
