France Macron accepts the resignation of Gabriel Attal's government

French media reported on Tuesday evening that President Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's government.

The media reported, quoting the Elysee, that the resigned government will assume the task of "caretaker".

Macron had  informed the ministers that they would continue to carry out their current work until a new government was appointed.

The talk is about a period extending "until the end of the Olympic Games," according to what Agence France-Presse reported, citing sources in the Elysee Palace.

For its part, BFM TV quoted a source who attended Macron's meeting with the ministers as saying that the president thanked the prime minister and his ministers amid "applause" at the end of the meeting.

Macron's acceptance of the government's resignation will allow 17 ministers who won the early legislative elections to take up their posts in the National Assembly, which will hold its first session after the elections on Thursday, July 18.

Under French constitutional rules, members of the outgoing government who have won seats in the National Assembly must resign before it convenes for the first time in order to run for key positions in it or to participate in the vote.

It is worth noting that  the "New National Front", the coalition of leftist parties that came in first place in the early legislative elections , is unable to agree on a government team, which prompted Communist Party leader Fabien Roussel to warn that they risk "sinking the ship" despite their success in the elections.
