French PM Gabriel Attal Resigns Amid Political Gridlock

French President Emmanuel Macron has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's government, which will serve in a caretaker capacity until a new government is appointed. Macron urged all Republican forces to work together to end the transition period quickly amidst a fragmented political landscape. The New Popular Front alliance emerged as the leading party after recent elections but lacks an absolute majority, leading to challenges in forming a government and selecting a prime minister. The caretaker government will continue day-to-day operations, providing more time for political parties to build a governing coalition post-elections, with uncertainty looming over the appointment of key positions in the administration.
