In a new momentum to French leader Emmanuel Macron’s presidency, Gabriel Atta was picked as the youngest prime minister of France on Tuesday. With the latest move, the 34-year-old has become France’s youngest and first openly gay head of government.
Late on Monday, Macron accepted former Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne’s resignation, after several days of speculation regarding the same.
The 62-year old stepped down from the position along with the rest of the government after serving for less than two years in office.
A presidential statement said, “The president of the republic appointed Mr Gabriel Attal prime minister, and tasked him with forming a government.”
Following the announcement, Macron took to X and said, “I know I can count on your energy and your commitment.”
