French election: Why Macron rejected PM’s resignation
Emmanuel #Macron asked his prime minister not to step down as he pleaded for calm after chaotic parliamentary election results left the country facing a hung parliament.
Gabriel Attal offered his resignation on Sunday night after parliamentary #election results pushed Mr Macron’s party into second place, triggering frantic talks to form a new government.
But Mr Macron on Monday said he had turned down the resignation, and asked Mr Attal, 35, to remain in post for now to “ensure the stability of the country” just two weeks ahead of the Paris Olympics.
