Prime Minister of France, Gabriel Attalannounced that he will submit his resignation to the president on Monday, Emmanuel Macron, “Faithful to republican tradition” After the defeat of the party that supported his government in the second round of elections French legislative elections Celebrate this Sunday.
“It is the honor of my life to be prime minister,” Attal declared in the courtyard of the Palais Matignon, the prime minister’s official residence. However, “the political group I represent does not constitute a majority. Therefore, true to republican traditions, tomorrow morning I will submit my resignation to the President of the Republic,” he explained.
The head of government said he would remain in office “as long as his duties require it” until a new government is formed. The decision was predicted to be due to the lack of an absolute or relative majority of the “Republican” party that formed the National Assembly for the second time following Sunday’s election.
Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
Attar mentioned the election results and the name of the early elections. “I would like to congratulate the 577 elected representatives. I did not choose to dissolve, but I refused to give in. We decided to fight. I warned of the risks of La Francia Insumisa or the National Assembly gaining an absolute majority, and of us. “All three risks were The French abandoned it, thanks to the French spirit embedded in its values.
He therefore stressed that centrism “is still alive and well” thanks to the “determination” of its representatives. “We endured it and we have three times more delegates than we estimated at the start of the campaign,” he stressed in his speech.
Regardless, he acknowledged that “a new era in our country is beginning.” “From tomorrow, the focus of power will be in Parliament. Our responsibilities are enormous. I will never succumb to the extreme vote chosen by millions of my fellow citizens. Wherever I am, I will always have the same goal: appease, unite, act. We must also take it upon ourselves to question everything in order to give hope to the French once more.

Once a resignation is offered, it will be up to Macron to decide whether to accept it. If he accepts, Attal will be responsible for “managing current affairs and dealing with emergencies,” according to France’s Constitutional Council, the equivalent of the Supreme Court. Attal will therefore remain in Matignon until Macron appoints his successor. The same goes for outgoing ministers.
However, as acting prime minister, he will not be able to carry out reforms or launch new programs. Only the government elected by the new National Assembly or the government that passes a motion of no confidence can legislate.
Forecasts show the New Popular Front as the organization with the most delegates (180-215 delegates), followed by Macron’s Solidarity République (150-180 delegates) and the National Rally (120-150 delegates). The National Assembly has 577 seats, so an absolute majority is 289.
