PARIS (Reuters) – French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal entered President Emmanuel Macron’s office on Monday to tender his resignation after parliamentary elections in which the government’s political camp lost its role as the strongest party to the left in a hung parliament.
It was unclear whether Macron would accept or refuse the resignation.
Attal had already flagged the move on Sunday – which follows French political tradition – saying he was prepared to stay in office longer as a caretaker but it was up to the president to decide.
