Macron Accepts PM Attal's Resignation, Keeps Him as Caretaker Amid Uncertainty

French President Emmanuel Macron has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government but asked Attal to remain as a caretaker until a new cabinet is appointed. This follows the defeat of Macron's centrist alliance in the recent parliamentary elections, leading to a hung parliament and political uncertainty. The National Assembly is set to elect its president, and the largest bloc, the left-wing New Popular Front, has yet to put forward a prime ministerial candidate. Macron may consider a technocratic government if no clear successor emerges.
