"Gabriel Attal: France's Youngest and First Openly Gay Prime Minister"

Gabriel Attal, at 34, has been appointed as France's youngest prime minister, succeeding Élisabeth Borne. A rising star in Macron's government, Attal faces the challenge of leading the country into important European Parliament elections in June amidst a lack of majority in parliament and a growing challenge from the nationalist right. While he has gained popularity and admiration, questions remain about his ability to establish authority and define a new sense of purpose for Macron's presidency.
